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.

Lucy Latte the Poodle Mix Puppy

Hi everyone! My name is Lucy Latte and I'm a poodle mix puppy. I'm little and fluffy and I have lots of energy. Mommy calls me the "Energizer Puppy"! I'm learning how to not chew on the wrong things, to potty in the right spot, and how to use my cuteness to get lots of attention.

Mickey the Dachshund Mix

My name is Mickey and I'm a 14-years-young dachshund mix. I'm sweet and loving, but I have a tendency to eat everything in sight, including Mommy's panty hose. I love my mommy so much, and I'm happy just being near her. She tries to take me everywhere she goes.

Tank the Lab Mix from Minnesota

My name is Tank and I'm from St. Cloud, MN. I'm a mix of black lab and corgi. Mommy arranged to buy a purebred corgi from a breeder. She bought toys and bones and everything. But when she went to the breeder to pick the dog up, the breeder had sold the dog to someone else. Mommy was devastated. She went straight to the Humane Society. There I was, sitting quietly in my kennel. It was love at first sight. I reminded her of her childhood dog, but shorter. Much, much shorter. They were calling me Fred, but I was quickly renamed Tank. People say I look like a midget lab, but the vet says I have a lot of classic corgi features. I love to clown around and I'm very friendly. One of my favorite things to do is chase my tail, but I can never get it, so I always give up and go for my leg instead.
