Molly
Vista, CABreed: Goldendoodle
Weight: 25 lbs
Age: 1 year old
Gender: Female
Hello, We are almost empty nesters with a beautiful and sweet puppy Molly. We have an acre, fenced and lots of dog toys. Our 25 lb goldendoodle Molly is super playful and obsessed with fetch. She loves to be by your side and follow everything you do. So so sweet and we think she will always be puppy like in her loving, sweet and attentive behavior. Molly isn't crate trained but also isn't destructive. She does not bark, only rarely growls when she hears the Amazon guy. She is an inside dog with outside privileges. Molly will go on car rides but doesn't love it. (She doesn't get carsick, just pants and shakes) We are looking for a solid play buddy who might be able to hang out on occasion and do vacation trades if possible.

We watch small dogs in our home. Never kenneled and treated like family. Licensed and insured. However I know this group is a trade group.

Barklee

Age: Puppy (less than 1 year old)
Gender: Female
❤️ ❤️ ❤️ this idea. Barklee is very reactive to other dogs and people. Would love to have both to desensitize her both. She has been to dog park several times and has shown she is pretty much socially awkward. 😆 The whole back of our house is fenced in and leads into her own room.
Marley

Weight: 25 lbs
Age: 2 years old
Gender: Female
Hi! I’m Marley- I’m a Jackshund pup…1/2 Jack Russell and 1/2 Dachshund! I’m 23 pounds of pure muscle and most times think I’m much bigger. I’m happy, full of energy and love to be chased by other pups:) My humans are Ashley and Josh- they adore me and my digging in the backyard, chasing lizards(or any other critter;) trips to the dog park, dog beach and I’ve even gone camping. I go to doggy day care sometimes and love it, but I really want to hang out with one other friend at a time, then we’ll have alllll the attention!;) My mom sometimes calls me “Shadow” since I have to follow her around all day, every day!!! Anyone want to run around with me in my cool backyard or go to the dog park and “run, run, run?!” 🐶🐾
Hugo
Vista, CABreed: Mixed Breed
Weight: 80 lbs
Age: 2 years old
Gender: Male
Hugo is fun and friendly, he loves playing with other dogs more than anything else & is fine with being bossed around by more alpha dogs. Wrestle, tug and soccer are his favorites. He does great with respectful kids (has been around kids age 3/4+) and lives with an indoor cat. He is kennel trained and sleeps perfectly through the night outside of his kennel. He is not an unnecessary barker. He has a medium energy level and does best with 1 or 2 walks per day (we usually go 1 mile per walk), then typically naps and spends time in the fenced yard. Open to playdates with other energetic dogs!
