The Dogs of Bark Avenue

By Cache Lubanski

Meet IdgieIdgie is a very sweet, loving, obedient, and gentle dog.

She always enjoys going on walks, and getting a good

head scratch. She’ll shake for a treat any chance she gets.

She walks very well on a leash, and is always happy to

meet new dogs. Idgie is a wonderful customer greeter

when she’s out in the lobby, and she is very patient with

everyone, even when the puppies try and lick her face.

Meet FredaFreda is a sweet, loving, loyal, and playful girl. She loves being in

the playroom with the other dogs. She can make friends with just

about anyone! Freda is very charming; she has mastered the art of

the puppy dog face. There is no doubt that Freda absolutely loves

going on walks, and she usually walks very well on a leash. But

she’s still learning that even though she’s excited, she doesn’t have

to pull when she see’s new dogs. Freda can win her way into

anyone's heart! Its hard to imagine Bark Avenue with out her..

Meet EllaElla is a sweet, and slobbery gentle giant. She loves getting a

good scratch or playing a game of fetch. Even though she’s

big, Ella is gentle with dogs big and small! She loves to go

on walks and stretch her legs with her sister Zoe. Sometimes

she forgets that she isn’t a small lap dog, so you may find

her trying to lean on you every once in a while. Ella may be

a little shy at first but once you give her a nice scratch on the

back she’ll stay by your side forever!

Meet Zoe

Zoe is a sweet, calm Great Dane. She loves

treats, and walks. Meeting new people is her

favorite thing on the walks with her sister.

She isn’t always too fond of the puppies that

try and give her lots of kisses, but a scratch

on the head will always make it up to her.

Meet Henry

Henry is a playful, energetic and outgoing

dog. He is the “Top Dog” in the pack, and

I think he knows it! Henry loves to be the

center of attention so he can entertain the

others. His favorite trick is jumping over

the gate before a walk. He loves going on

walks to get rid of his energy, plus he

likes smelling all the trees too. Henry

walks well on a leash, and is still learning

that dogs outside Bark Avenue can still be

his friends too. He is just a funny, goofy,

and charismatic dog.

Meet Sydney

Loving, sweet, and funny, Sydney is shy at

first but once she warms up to you, she’ll

never leave your side. She loves playing

ball, and having a treat before her walk.

Sydney always enjoys going on walks, and

is beginning to understand that she doesn’t

have to bark at the dogs that walk past. I

love seeing how much progress she has

made since she first arrived at Bark Avenue!

Sydney is a wonderful, and goofy dog, and

she’s a great pack member!

Meet Millie

Millie is energetic, playful, and

outgoing. She loves to play with her

puppy friends all day. Her favorite

game to play is fetch. Sometimes she

can be a little troublemaker, but she

really just loves having fun! Millie likes

going on walks, but mostly because she

gets to meet new dogs. She will always

sit for a treat, and she will thank you in

kisses.

Meet Ginger

Sweet, loving, loyal, and goofy.

Ginger is a very outgoing puppy. She

loves to give kisses, and run around

in the playroom. Fetch is her favorite

game. Ginger is always playful and

keeps all the dogs energized. A good

belly scratch is her weakness. She

always loves going on walks mostly

because she gets lots compliments on

her cute puppy face!

Meet TikiCrazy! You always know when Tiki and

his sister Stormy are in the building! But

behind all of the barks is a sweet dog.

would do it all day if he could. He likes

going on walks with his sister. Despite

his craziness, Tiki and Stormy always

walks well on a leash, and they’re

always up for meeting new dogs. And

just like the others, he’ll never say no to

a treat! Tiki and his sister are truly a

dynamic duo.

Meet Stormy

Just like Tiki, Stormy is a crazy dog!

But underneath she is a very loving

girl. She loves to just hang out with

all the other dogs in the playroom.

Stormy loves being with her brother

on walks. Sometimes Tiki and

Stormy are so occupied with each

other that they don’t even notice the

other dogs that walk by them. But all

together Stormy is a sweet, and crazy

dog!

doubt her, she is a big dog in a

small body and she isn’t afraid to

keep some of the big dogs in line.

Leo, she even shares her treats with

him. Sammy will show you that

even though she’s small, she can

keep up with the big dogs.

loves to go on walks with his sister

Sammy. He’s always happy to greet

bite might just be his most adorable

feature. Leo likes to play ball every

now and again, but mostly he loves to

prance around the playroom with his

head held high. And when it’s time for

his walk, he will never forget to grab a

treat on the way out.

always jump up and get your attention. On

walks Walter loves to say hello to the other

dogs, and smell all the bushes that he can.

Walter and Millie are partners in crime. When

those two troublemakers are together you

never know what to expect! But behind all

the antics, Walter really just loves having fun.

him is his bark. You’ll always know Walter is

in the room because when he barks… you

won’t miss it!

in the dog beds outside the

fooled… he and his dad go on

3 mile walks every day. When

he’s not walking, you will

find him fast asleep on his

favorite dog bed.

Meet SpiritLoving, cute, and sweet. Spirit is a

very people oriented dog. She is

always so sweet to all the people

she meets on her walks. Spirit

behind her ears. Puppy kisses

aren’t always her favorite so she

always lets us know when she’s

ready to come out of the playroom

and have a rest.

going and runs into a wall. He

always has his tongue out of the

side of his mouth which tells the

other dogs he’s ready to have fun!

Meet Calvin

There is never a day where

Calvin is in the playroom without

a ball in his mouth. He loves to
