What makes me a good dog while visiting Ellicott Island Bark Park? When Iā€™m at the Ellicott Island Bark Park I always follow the rules and stay close to my human and I love to smell absolutely EVERYTHING!!

Do I love car rides? I love car rides, especially to the dog park!

Where do I sleep? I mostly sleep on my bed, but I also love the couch, the bath mat, the car, the floor, the human bed... there are no bad places to sleep.

The story of how I found my humans? I found my human after a months-long stay at the Tomkins SPCA. When I was 8 years old, my first human moved to a new apartment and I barked at all the humans who passed by so I had to live at the SPCA. I was so scared and upset that I didn't want anyone to even look at me. They made a rule that anyone who wanted to see me had to meet with the behavior specialist first. It took almost half of a year, but when I met my human, I brought her my ball right away, and she knew to throw it! The people at the SPCA knew that I'd be O.K. with her and let me go home.
