Mood-boosting Model Chihuahua

Peanut - the Mood-boosting Model Chihuahua 

"I may be little, but I always get noticed."

Peanut, the Chihuahua, knows that the right ensemble can always get attention, and this fashionista believes in big stylin. At just 5 pounds, Peanut works extra hard to make sure you won't forget her. She has an outfit for almost any occasion, and she always enjoys hanging out with her friends and making them smile.

Don't let her classic beauty fool you into thinking Peanut is just another diva. This girl also knows how to make a splash. At one cabin party she donned a life jacket, jumped right into the lake, and swam for hours. Dog paddling never looked so good! Of course, she also took full advantage of the raft and laid out to tan (and beauty nap) afterwards.

Jubilant Jumping Pit Bull

Roscoe - the Jubilant Jumping Pit Bull 
"Play hard and sleep harder."

At 70 pounds, Roscoe is mostly muscle and all heart. Whether he's playing disc golf or jumping hurdles in flyball or diving in a competition or just goofing around the park, Rosco loves everything athletic. If it involves his favorite, a ball, any ball, especially tennis balls, he's ready to give it his all.

Among his doggy friends, Roscoe is often the calm one, eager to show how sweet and loving a well trained pit bull can be. Although, he can be very persistent as well.  Like the time he was so disappointed that his guy Cody wasn't taking him for a walk, and he dragged Cody's mother, on her heels, for an entire block just to get back to his guy.

All that running and jumping and tail wagging makes for one tired pup at the end of the day, and Roscoe cherishes his role as a solid and immovable cuddle bug.

Roscoe is more concerned with fun than first place as his coach, Cody, watches him dive.

Zen Zoned Pug

Benny - the Zen Zoned Pug 
"I prefer to call them laugh lines."

When Benny's Air Force family received orders to take flight without him, this scrappy dog landed on his feet with the Midwest Pug Rescue. Of course, his foster family had to adopt him. Just look at that adorable face!

Although you'll most often find him playing statue and barely moving, Benny does have some curly-tail wagging adventures with his best friend Buddy.

Deep in his tough, little heart Benny knows that he could have been an award winning actor. When you call his name, he stops, perks up his ears, and slowly turns to look at you with all the drama of a soap opera star.

Benny occasionally keeps up his stunt-dog skills by leaping off the couch and flying over the end table in a single bound to land victoriously in the recliner for a nice long meditation nap.

Benny and his best buddy, Buddy

Silly Spokesbird Macaw

Tango - the Silly Spokesbird Macaw

"Peacocks aren't the only ones who like to strut their pretty plumage."

At just eighteen years old (Macaws can live for over 75 years) Tango has found his place in the world  working as a spokesbird to educate young and old on the joys and responsibilities of living with birds. Tango travels, with his flock of fellow parrots, around the Twin Cities greeting people with his stunning display of colorful feathers at birthday parties, hardware stores, and convention centers.

Tango also plays host to birds, cats, dogs, and other small creatures who stay at his house for an animal holiday.

Weighing just over two pounds (1,200 grams), Tango is full of sweetness and trust. This silly bird often talks up a storm and although he really loves his jobs as spokesbird and host what he truly enjoys is feeding the squirrels.

Tango tells secrets to Juli
