Meet Bookmark! He's an adventure enthusiast, squeaky-toy connoisseur, and the author of his own daily diary. Bookmark is the kind of dog who turns an ordinary day into a highlight reel, and his latest adventures prove it. During recent outings, he’s shown our volunteers just how fun, silly, and lovable he really is. He’s proven his athletic prowess knows no bounds, and honestly, the photos do back him up. Whether it took one leap or five to catch the toy is between him and his diary, but one thing is certain: he had a blast. His current favorite thing in the world? Squeaky toys. The louder, the better. Football-shaped, ball-shaped — doesn’t matter, as long as it squeaks like it means it. He’s also been practicing his toy-trading manners: sometimes he’ll happily swap, and other times he’ll gently remind you that "dog toys are for dogs," though he’s open to the idea of sharing... maybe. Bookmark enjoys play, treats, and exploring new places. He’s easy to towel dry (perfect for those summer days!), enjoys affection, and continues to build trust through positive interactions. With continued practice, he’ll be a fantastic partner for fetch, toy trading, and fun family adventures. He brings exuberance and friendliness into dog introductions and would love to meet any resident dogs to make sure their playstyles match. Bookmark’s story is still being written, and he’s looking for a family who will turn his days into adventures — with play, training, love, and lots of squeaky toys along the way. Meet Bookmark. Your new best chapter is waiting.
