Two-year-old Rocky, a Beagle, happens to be quite sweet and laid back. He adores attention and loves being close to his person. He's curious and his hound-nose will lead him on adventures if he can escape a fence, so he needs to be closely supervised when outside.

A Kelpie/husky mix, two-year-old Kendell is gorgeous and smart. She'll make direct eye contact with you while waiting for the next command or direction. She's treat-motivated and vocal. She can get excited and a bit silly, and she'll nibble a bit so she may be too much for young children.
