This 4-year-old Chocolate Labrador Retriever is named Champ Bailey after her dog mom Jeannette’s favorite football player. “My husband calls her eyes ‘Corona eyes,’ like the Corona beer color. They are yellow and green. She is so beautiful. We love how wonderful she is with kids and smaller dogs. Her favorite pastime is water play at the beach or pool. And football , of course.”

Zoe is a Wire-Haired Fox Terrier with severe allergies. “I took her to the vet and they shaved her tail and put this silly reversed lampshade on her head,” says her dog mom, Hillary. “I love everything about Zoe, especially her spunky personality. She definitely is my daughter through and through. A good heart, but mischievous.”

Hailey, a 13-year-old Pit Bull, was adopted from a shelter 11 years ago. “She jumped on top of the crate in her kennel, stared straight at me and made the loudest/oddest noise I have ever heard, almost like she was calling me back ... at that moment I knew that was my dog!” says her dog mom, Erin, who then had to move because her apartment complex didn’t allow Pit Bulls. “We did it without question and would do it again,” Erin says.
Hailey had to wear bandages on her head due to an ear hematoma that needed sutures.
“She has filled our lives with so much love I cannot even explain it,” Erin says. “She knows when I feel bad and comes and gives me loads of kisses, and when I feel depressed she will not leave my side. Hailey and Blue (our Lab) kept me going both times my husband was on deployment.”
Kolo Boy is a 4-year-old Lab-Pit Bull mix who loves to chase the fish in a backyard pond. “It's hilarious whenever we catch him staring at butterflies in amazement, then tries to catch them,” said his dog mom, Crystal.
Meeko is 9 months old. “As crazy as he is, I love having him around,” says his dog mom, Beth. “I think it’s so cute when he lays flat on his tummy, with his back legs straight behind him, then starts pulling himself along the floor with his front paws.”
Beth says Meeko is a wonderful dog to come home to. “It doesn't matter if I've been gone for 5 minutes or 5 hours. He is so excited to see me that he needs to get all my love and attention before he can focus on going outside to go potty.”
Annabelle is a 6-year-old purebred Doberman with both a Canine Good Neighbour and Working Aptitude Certificate. Kerry, her pet parent, says Annabelle is “the greatest protector of small dogs at the dog park. She and I work very hard at being good ambassadors for the breed. She now has many new friends, who only knew of the typical Doberman of the movies, and would cross the street when they saw her coming.” That’s dried sand on her face from the beach, which is her favorite place in the world.
Mira is a Bernese Mountain Dog who was abandoned when she was 18 months old and adopted when she was 2. “She is a little floozy, LOL!” says her dog mom, Elaine. “She’s always on her back to show her belly. Her belly is soft and what I like most about it is that’s it’s warm (and warms my hands during the winter).”
Mira had a rough start in life, losing most of her kidney function due to illness. “They told us she might only last six months,” Elaine recalls. “Well, let me tell you – we changed her food, walked her, made sure she drank lots of water, and guess what? She’s now 5 years old now and the best girl ever.”
Josie is a 5-year-old Australian Shepherd-Collie mix. She was a stray rescued just hours before she was going to be euthanized four years ago. “We have never regretted it for a minute,” says her dog mom, Beth. “We can only guess that because of economic times someone had to abandon her because she doesn’t act as if she was ever abused. I love to watch her run. She tries to herd our other dogs and even my granddaughter.” When Beth takes a break from working on the computer to talk to Josie, “she lays her head on my knee and stares at me with those eyes as if to say that the only place she wants to be is right there with me.”

When 3-year-old Gigi was adopted two years ago, she was “a mess, scared of everyone and everything,” says her dog mom, Stephanie. “She was a ‘pancake dog’ – she couldn't stand up when we walked her, but kind of crawled while shaking and drooling instead.” Today, Gigi works at hospitals as a therapy dog and loves playing with her two pawls, a Boston Terrier and Pit mix. “She is a total cuddlebug. Despite her 55-pound weight, Gigi loves to curl up in a ball on my lap and watch TV. She is the sweetest girl in the world,” says Stephanie.

Ginger is a 12-year-old black Lab-Golden Retriever mix (who looks like a yellow Lab!). Her dog mom Lindsay picked her out of a litter of 10 puppies. “She was the first puppy to lick my hand, so it was meant to be,” Lindsay said.
Ginger loves to lie in the sun and enjoy the fresh air. “She still gets her morning walk, and loves every minute of it!” Lindsay said. “She is seriously the best dog ever. Never did anything bad.”
Roudy is a 4-year-old Chow-Husky mix. “Roudy LOVES the water, which is strange he’s part Chow,” says his pet parent, Dallace. “He has no problem sitting there while you wash him, brush him or clip his nails. Roudy is an amazing dog and we're grateful that we snatched the little runt up from the muddy backyard he was living in – it was no place for a little puppy to be living.” Dallace says Roudy has always been very attentive and intuitive. “If you’re sad or sick, he is sure to come and cuddle up with you, and will not leave your side until he's satisfied he's done his job of making you feel better.”
“I love Reba's eyes because they are truly the window to her little soul,” says Linda, her dog mom. “When she looks at me, like she's doing in the photo, I know she understands my thoughts.” Linda calls Reba “gen chan,” which is short for genetically challenged. “She's so far in the mix they couldn't determine any significant breed in her. I just tell Reba that she had a travelin' man for a daddy and a party-hardy girl for a mama.”
Sadie was rescued just over three years ago. Although the rescue group said she was a mix, her dog dad, David, thinks Sadie is all Lab.
“As empty nesters and having lost our previous yellow Lab a year before, Sadie has filled a giant void in our lives,” David said. “Sadie is also a big ‘daddy’s dog,’ but has learned to be a faithful companion to my wife during the long days I’m at work. Once I get home it’s off to agility practice or working on ground work in the front yard before dinner.”
Phoebe is a 1-year-old Great Dane who is a certified therapy pet. “Phoebe has the most brilliant, bright, sky-blue eyes I've ever seen!” says her dog mom, Kim. “Most people think that she has one blue and one black eye, but that's not the case. She is partially blind in her left eye (from birth) and the misshapen pupil stays dilated at all times, so you don't see very much of the blue iris unless you look close.” Kim said Phoebe is also deaf, but she doesn't let the deafness or blindness slow her down. “If anything, she lives life to the fullest, running full speed ahead around the back yard. But when she does finally stop running she loves to cuddle. She'll lay her head on your chest and gaze up at you with complete adoration and a look of innocence, and as you gaze back into those blue eyes, you're held captive just where she wants you so you're caught off guard and she can give you a big wet kiss!”
