Boomer (Submitted by Tonja Royce)

Boomer is my little monkey monster who loves to take me for walks daily and play lacrosse. He is a Pitbull/American Bulldog mix and often gets mistaken for the famous "Petey" of The Little Rascals. A girl couldn't ask for a better snuggler!

Dexter (Submitted by Ashley Witt)

My fiancé and I adopted Dexter, a 4-month-old Beagle mix, a few weeks ago, and he is the best puppy ever! His previous owners abandoned him when he was just a baby, and we're so lucky to provide a loving, safe and healthy home for him where he can run around and be happy. He's made our lives better, and we hope that we've made his life better!

Toby (Submitted by Karla Mancuso)

Toby is a 1-year-old Golden Retriever who loves the water. When we were leaving the lake, I told Toby to say goodbye to the lake, and he went to the shore as if he were saying adieu to the water. We had him trimmed really short for the summer so he would be cooler and dry faster.

Milo (Submitted by Peggy Webb)

Milo is 10 months old and is an Elkhound. He is a rescue.

Sophie (Submitted by Susan Dembitsky)

Sophie is a 4.5-year-old Maltese. She enjoys watching television, and you wouldn’t believe it, except if you saw it for yourself. Her favorite movie is K9, although she will watch a variety of things. She is just an all-around sweetie.

Izzie (Submitted by Anna Marie Petroziello)

When we first viewed Izzie, all of her brothers (she was the only female) were playing and running around like puppies, and she was just sitting in the corner. We thought maybe it might be a mistake to purchase a pup who was so extremely low-key. Wrong! She's nuts and is quite entertaining and very loving. She loves to play outside with sticks in her mouth running in circles at a speed only a rabbit could catch. She had a 'head-on' collision with a baby bunny – both just sat there for almost a full minute, obviously not knowing what to do. Hysterical! She has only barked twice when she was attacking a slipper, BUT she howls like a wolf – little head held high in pure form. This little toy Yorkie is only ONE POUND at 9 weeks old and is doing her best to mend the broken hearts of my husband and myself after the loss of our 15-year-old Yorkie named Tink, who left at us Christmas. Bringing Izzie home was a great decision!
