 Meet Avalanche, a loving and energetic companion who lives for adventure and affection. This smart boy is a total pro at his commands and maintains a steady pace on his walks.

Whether he's chasing friends in a game of fetch or enjoying the breeze on a long car ride, Avalanche is always up for fun-especially if there's a pup cup, hot dog, or dried sweet potato waiting for him at the end of the trip.

She values her personal space and likes affection on her own terms; however, once she settles in for a neck scratch or a back rub, she's known to practically fall asleep in pure bliss. Whether she's enjoying a quiet nap or showing off her silly side with backyard zoomies, Lolo is the perfect match for someone looking for a loyal, low-maintenance best friend.
