Porter

Porter Weizen Doppelbock is a Border Collie/German Shepherd/shelter mystery from Bloomington, Indiana. After kicking his country boy habits and adjusting to his itty bitty living space, he learned to love NY and can often be found strutting around Harlem sporting his NY Mets or Baltimore Ravens collars. Porter enjoys jumping on his favorite people, chewing on mulch, leaping through snow mounds and acting tragic. His dislikes include furniture, eating before his four cats inspect his food, and turnips. Porter aspires to be a peanut-butter taste tester or shag carpet inspector when he grows up.

LT

LT (short for Lawrence Taylor) is a 3 year old American Staffordshire Terrier. His owner found him on Craigslist where he had been rescued from a shelter and was being fostered by an owner of a tiny dog.  Since LT's owner was already a tiny dog owner looking he knew LT would be a great fit.  LT is a giant cuddly dog and will contort his body in whatever way possible just to rest his head on you. As indicated by his name, he spends his Sunday's watching NY Giants games with his owner, and always wears his NY Giants collar to show his pride.

Fred

Fred is a beagle/whippet/lab rescue from Hurricane Gustav in Mississippi. Don't let her name fool you, she's a girl. We got her as a puppy and she's been a holy terror ever since.  Her favorite dieting technique is eating grass and then throwing it up in the middle of the night, this is how she keeps her girlish figure.  When Fred isn't in the emergency room for fatal ingestion she can often be seen running around the NYC's Great Hill in Central Park.  Her favorite past times are running,begging for treats, eating and rolling in poop and stepping on her parents sensitive parts amongst others. She likes to cuddle on her own terms but will gladly roll over on her back for a belly rub. She is a member of D.A.G. (Dog Actors Guild.)  You may have seen her on NatGeoWild's "My Dog Ate What", 20/20 and Animal Planet.

Goofy

Goofy was adopted at the North Shore Animal League and it was mutual love at first sight. He's a Hurricane Katrina rescue, and is half basset hound and half black lab. He has short little stubby basset legs, big basset feet, with a black lab head, tail and body.  Goofy enjoys chasing sprinklers and hoses.  It's more of an obsession than enjoyment.  When not doing this, he can often be found eating dirt or siting on a rock contemplating life.  Like his little sister Fred,  He's been on NatGeoWild, Animal Planet, 20/20 and Dr. Oz.
