DogName: Romeo
Breed: Beagle
DogAge: 12 weeks
Size: 12lbs 8 inches at shoulder
Play_style: My dog loves to run and roll around with other dogs. Right now he plays with a Yellow Lab and he loves to try to pin her down. He can be kind of vocal if the other dog does not want to play but as long as he is playing he stays pretty quiet. He is a real invesitgator and loves to follow his nose. He needs someone to be his buddy.
Comments: I am located in the Greenlake area, but would be willing to travel.

DogName: Atticus
Breed: Havanese
DogAge: 11 weeks
Size: 3 pounds and really, really short!
Play_style: So far Atticus likes to run, jump, tug and chew. I have only watched him with his sister and she was merciless, taking his food, growling at him, attacking him. She gave poor Atticus no peace. I haven't seen him with other dogs yet, but hope he'll learn to be friendly and playful. He is with me.
Comments: I live in Newcastle and would be most available on weekends, although some evenings might be possible. There's a nice park and lake near me that I'm sure dogs would love to explore.

DogName: Brody
Breed: Beagle
DogAge: 15 weeks
Size: 16 lbs
Play_style: Brody loves playtime with other dogs. He doesn't generally dominate the action, but he can hold his own with all but the bigger, more aggressive pups. He does best with other dogs that really want to play- he loses interest in the timid ones pretty quickly. We're looking for another puppy & family to trade occasional playtime/puppysitting duties. We have a fenced back yard that makes a great puppy playground, and we also try to make daily trips to the "small/shy dog" area at Magnuson Park.
Comments: We live in North Seattle, so any neighborhood north of the ship canal is pretty accessible. We're home most of the day, so a morning or afternoon playtime would work especially well. Weekends are good too. Brody is pretty mellow after dinner, making evenings more of a puppysitting time than a playtime. But that can work, too, for the occasional evening out.

DogName: Lola
Breed: pit bull
DogAge: 9 months
Size: 45 pounds, 18" tall??
Play_style: Lola loves to play, play, play. She prefers to wrestle around most of the time, but will also chase, tug, fetch, etc. Because she likes to wrestle and use her strength, she seems to be better suited to play with bigger dogs who don't feel overwhelmed by her. She can definitely be over-zealous, but isn't aggressive at all. At the park she seems to be drawn more towards bigger males. Her best bud is a 100-lb Mastiff puppy who lives out of town ~ they will roll around and chew on each other all day if allowed.
Comments: We live in West Seattle and are available most evenings after 4-5pm and weekends. We do not have a yard, but can travel!

DogName: auggie
Breed: american bulldog - short
DogAge: 3 1/2
Size: 70lbs and 2' tall?
Play_style: Auggie is a rescue and was never properly socialized. He needs time to sniff and just be with another dog first. Once comfortable (few minutes) he loves to run, wressle, chase and BE CHASED. He is very silly. Auggie still gets overexcited upon 1st meeting another dog. He shows no social graces upon introduction- this can cause mistrust in SOME other dogs and fear aggression takes over (usually by both dogs). He tends to do better with females than males-- although he has had quite a few rough and tumble male buddies. He is great playing with pits as they have same intensity.
Comments: We live in Rainier Beach and are close to Lake WA and Genesee park. I also have a fenced yard. The Aug can be offleash - but only in open areas where he cannot be surprised by any new dogs. I also have a car and can travel.

DogName: Suka
Breed: German shepherd mix
DogAge: 16 weeks
Size: 30-35 lbs, 15-20" tall at shoulder?
Play_style: Loves to play and usually submits to play partner. I don't think I've seen him be the agressor--he is a waggy-tail to all that he meets but his teeth are sharp! I would characterize his style as rough only because throws himself into it and is not a small puppy. He's not the one to end the play session.
Comments: We live in Maple Leaf--close to Ravenna, U District, Northgate, Greenlake. Would love a playmate in the evenings or weekends.

DogName: Paisley
Breed: Cairn Terrier
DogAge: 17 weeks
Size: 10 1/2 lbs., growing
Play_style: I haven't had Paisley long enough to know her style, but so far she appears to act tough at first, then quickly settle into play mode. I don't know how dominant she wants to be with dogs. We're not ready for a dog park, and I don't have a fenced yard. We do a lot of walking. She would love to be able to go nutty on a long lead with another pup.
Comments: We live in Fremont/Ballard and would like to find a puppy pal. Ideally, we would meet during the day.

DogName: Oliver - Olly
Breed: Yorkshire terrier/ mix terrier
DogAge: 7 months
Size: 19lbs
Play_style: Olly is a very playful and timid little boy. He loves to play with large or small dogs... prefably smaller. He loves dogs his own size that will chase him/ he can chase. He is shy sometimes, sometimes nervous, but very clever dog. He is such a lovely puppy to be around, and learns quickly and usually goes to command! He loves his ball... and like to fetch! Just looking at new sceneries, and enjoying new things/people/ places, and having a good nose at things and taking it all in, and playing!
We have taken him to a few off lease parks, im not sure on them, he likes the beach, and we do take him to parks... which are not too overwhelming for him... He has just finished all his shots so is very safe and able to play with new friends... Come and play!
Comments: We are in Broadway, Capitol Hill, we dont have a fenced yard, so Olly goes out about 3 times a day. We would ideally like evening meetings, or play *park or home* and maybe weekends, or shared babysitting??? Smaller dogs preferred.
