My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:


Meet Rookie — Our Rookie of the Year!

Personality: Easy-Going Blue-Eyed Beauty

The Rookie of the Year award goes to… this handsome boy right here! Rookie truly has it all — a calm, even temperament, a gentle spirit, and a lovable personality that wins everyone over. He’s easygoing, walks beautifully on leash, knows how to sit, and takes treats with perfect manners. Simply put, Rookie is the total package. With his striking ice-blue eyes and soft, plush coat, he’s as stunning as he is sweet. Rookie loves attention and affection, leaning right in for pets and cuddles. He’s the kind of dog who fits in anywhere.

Fun Fact: Rookie has a signature head tilt when you talk to him — it’s like he’s hanging on to every word (and maybe waiting for the word “treat”!). If you’re looking for a loyal, easygoing companion who’s already an all-star in every way, Rookie’s ready to join your team!
