This is my dog Zoey. She’s a Golden Retriever mix. She’s 10 months old and will be one year old in August. Zoey’s litter was rescued out in Mexico at just a few days old. Zoey and her siblings were found by two older women who took care of them until they were ready to go to an adoption center. My brother’s girlfriend’s parents own a rescue/adoption center out in Arizona and took in all the puppies when they were able to cross the boarder. At eight weeks old Zoey was able to come to her new home here in Wisconsin! She was very timid and shy at first but eventually her personality starting coming out. She is super goofy, out-going, curious, smart, intelligent and very protective. But most of all she has the most sweetest, caring soul! She loves taking my socks and sleeping with them. She loves being outside playing, car rides, and loves going on walks. Submitted by Kelsey P.
Hi, I’m Raider, your friendly Pitbull mix. I was adopted but found out that I’m rather picky towards my fellow canines… not jealous, but playing with them was a challenge. Maybe it’s a canine thing, but I did LOVE my adopted human parent. I would love another chance to prove myself. Submitted by Lodi Animal Services in Lodi, California.

Archie is seven months old and loves everyone and all other animals. We currently have three cats, and occasionally my daughter’s dog is with us, and he loves them all. When we go for walks in the neighborhood, everyone knows Archie and he loves when they make a fuss over him. Submitted by Lori D.
Ginger is an 18 month old Goldendoodle. She is fun and very social. So happy all the time. Ginger is in the middle. We live in Portland, Maine and this photo is taken on our boat in front of Sprint Point Headlight. She is with two dogs whom she just met. One is a four year old Golden Retriever and the other is a four month old Golden. They are all smiling and having a great time on a beautiful day in Maine! Submitted by Julie M.
Meet Popo, the latest member of our family. Popo is about nine months old and was a mixed breed stray until two months ago when she came up to my son on a street and then jumped into the passenger side of our car before we could close close the door! So we brought her home. Popo has boundless energy and gets on very well with our other furry family members. She has a very soulful face that is so expressive and we all just love her to bits! We are just so glad she chose to come and live with us. Submitted by Jago S.

Ollie is my second Mini English Bull Terrier. He is named in loving memory of Mollie, my first Mini English Bull Terrier. I was very lucky to get this sweet boy, as most breeders do not let “regular people” have their puppies, as they are a breed all of their own. My friend found Ollie posted on the AKC site. Because I had experience with the breed, and had just lost Mollie after almost 14 years (I was devastated,) the breeder let me have Ollie on the condition that I fly to Detroit to get him. He is the best medicine I could ask for, and I am training him to follow in Mollie’s paw prints to do modeling work. Submitted by Jay W.
Here are some pictures I took of my dog, Diamond, and my mom’s dog, Banjo. Both dogs live in the same house with me and my parents, so I sorta kinda consider Banjo my dog, too. Diamond is a four year old purebred Red Nose Brindle Pit Bull Terrier, and Banjo is a one-and-a-half year old purebred light cream Labrador Retriever.
Diamond, the rescue Pit, is my owner trained multipurpose service dog for psychiatric alert and response, autism assistance, and medical alert and response. She’s fully task trained and public access trained, as well as a certified AKC Canine Good Citizen. Both her and Banjo passed their AKC Canine Good Citizen (CGC) tests at just a year old. The tester even complimented me on my training skills, especially since I was at a young age of just 15/16 years old at the time.
Banjo, the goofy Lab, is my mom’s multipurpose service dog for mobility assistance and psychiatric response, whom I trained for my mom. He’s fully task trained and public access trained, as well as a certified AKC Canine Good Citizen.
Diamond is my life-saver. I don’t know what I’d ever do without her. She has helped me in many ways, including keeping me from fainting with her very helpful low blood sugar alerts. She interrupts my self-harming behaviors (scratching), and even guides me during episodes of dizziness or dissociation. Of course, she can do many more than just this. She’s just such a smart doggy.
Many people don’t know this, but all service dogs have “off-days” where they may be a little more distracted and what-not, but the majority of the time, they are well-behaved and know when they need to help their handler. Other than the occasional off-day, Diamond and Banjo follow their obedience and task commands perfectly.
Diamond and Banjo both love to learn something new. They’re people-pleasers for sure. LOL. Submitted by Jennica F.
Riley was born in Krum, Texas. She has five siblings that have also found their forever homes. She now is with our family and such a fantastic addition. She just found her bark, which is adorable and has the cutest “growl” when we play tug-o-war. Her favorite toy is her squirrel with the crinkle sound. Submitted by Cathy.
Sending a few photos of our beautiful dog. Lily is the kindest, sweetest, most lovely dog ever! She is adored by all. She is an almost two year old Goldador: 75% Labrador and 25% Golden Retriever. Submitted by Ben C.
Elliot just turned 11 months old. He was 10 months in the photos that are being sent. He is a White English Cream Golden Retriever and we got him at eight weeks old. He amazes us everyday with the things he does. He LOVES the pool, and being in water, and truly loves to play fetch. At night he has to get on my husband and I’s bed, with my youngest daughter (16 years old) and roll all around, taking the covers in his mouth to cover himself and then just lay there. After my daughter says goodnight, he lays still between my husband and I for about five minutes, moves to the other side of my husband and stretches out, lies there five more minutes, then sits up on the edge of the bed… waits… sits… waits… then after about 10 minutes he gets down and lays on the floor! This has to be his nightly routine or he cries and whines until everyone is there together! He needs to have someone petting him at all times when we are sitting, and he watches TV, depending on the show! I cannot imagine our lives without him. Submitted by Valerie C.
