Shelby Mae the Spaniel Mix from Virginia

My name is Shelby Mae, and the peeps at the dog park tell my mom I'm a papillion/spaniel mix. I live in Arlington, Virgina now, but I was born in Tennessee. Things didn't start out too well for me, but I'm so happy now. When I was about eight months old a group of construction workers found me and took me to the home of a wonderful couple in the town who bred hunting dogs. They put "lost dog" signs all over the small town, but no one claimed me. The couple gave me a home until they could find me a permanent home. Lucky pictures of me circulated, and my mom instantly fell in love with me, and I soon became a spoiled diva dog. Because I had difficulty trusting new people, I ran from my mom the first time we met. I quickly learned that she wasn't going to hurt me, and I love my new life of luxury. I am part of a wonderful family now, and will never have to spend another night alone in the woods. I love attention and demand it 24/7. My favorite place is on someone's lap, and if you aren't petting me, I'll make you by pulling your hand toward me with my paw. I also love to chase squirrels, but I don't care about catching them -- I just want them to run up trees. I love toys, especially toys with squeakers. They are the best to tear up into shreds. Mom doesn't love it, but I just give her "the eyes" and all is well.

Hello! We are Briar Patch, Cassie, and Missy. We're from the hills of western North Carolina. Briar Patch is usually mellow but likes to play with the big boys. Cassie is all about her frisbee. And Missy, the youngest, likes to give Mommy a hard time. Our parents often take us to the Pisgah Forest to run. Cassie's the alpha dog and leads the pack. Briar is the hunter and has his nose buried in a hole most of the time. Missy just tags along.

Max the Lab Mix from Toronto

Hi, my name is Max and I'm a Chocolate Lab/Springer Spaniel mix from Toronto, Ontario, Canada. My brother and I used to live in Savannah, Georgia, until our owner became terminally ill. We were given to a relative, but then sent to the pound. We were then taken in by a rescue organization and bounced around to different foster homes before our new mommy adopted us and brought us to Canada, where we joined 3 more brothers to make a pack of 5. I'm an easygoing, adaptable guy. I love car rides, playing fetch, and lying down in any pool of water I can find. Whenever I wake up from a nap, or when someone comes home, I grab whatever I can and put it in my mouth, whether it's a shoe, the mail, or a grocery bag. I can't help it, I get excited.

Johnny the Lab Mix from Toronto

Hi, my name is Johnny and I am a lab mix from Toronto. I just turned a year old. Mommy found me in the middle of the street. She located my owner, but he had tossed me out on purpose. She tried to find me a new home, but after a week she fell in love with me. I joined her 4 other dogs (all boys), and it was really chaotic at first. I wasn't the easiest to train, but at 9PM every night I go to bed all by myself. I love chew toys and car rides and everything else that dogs love. I am very happy that Mommy decided to keep me!

Vash the Lab Mix from North Carolina

Hi, my name is Vash and I am a lab/pit mix from North Carolina. Daddy came to the shelter looking for a dog, and as he tells it, a "skinny little gold dog" got his attention. I came when he called me and put my head in his lap. He took me home, and I am proud to be his first dog. I'm not skinny anymore, I'm actually rather burly at 65 lbs. Dad says we have a deep connection that he can't describe. I want him to know I think he's pretty great, too.
