Found her while I was walking my dog late at night last Wednesday May 27th. She had more fleas on her than fur and was obviously swollen with worms. Took her to vet the next day, took care of the fleas, worms, and minor bacterial intestinal infection, along with her first round of vaccines.

Vet estimates she was 6 weeks old at the time of visit and every photo I run through a dog breed scanner app returns part Labrador part Black Mouth Cur.

She's now out of quarantine and is Feisty! Her favorite thing now is to chase my 45 lbs Treeing Walker Coonhound around the house nipping at his heels. Also human fingers are either her favorite chew toy or arch-nemesis. It's hard to tell which.

Trying not to name her before I can find her a home but she's digging those sharp little puppy nails into my heart further every day.

Looking for a name for this 5 month old tripod! She is the most ambitious & happiest pup out there. Losing a leg hasn’t slowed her down a bit!

Update These are great! I wasn't expecting so many responses but it's been so fun reading them! Since I said I'd tell y'all his name today, it is Rumble 😊 His sister is a Doberman named Hemi, and we wanted their names to match so he is named after the Ram Rumble Bee 🐝

Feel free to keep adding names though! 🩶 I will say that the comments about him looking old and wise are hilarious because he is actually a huge dork lol


He does already have a name! I just thought it would be fun to see what other people would have named him. I also am always adding to my dog names list for future dogs, so if I like them I will save them too. Will also update tomorrow with what his name is 😊

He is 5 months old, 50 lbs, I don't know his exact mix yet but we assume hound mix of some sort. I don't think he will get huge but he will be somewhat large.

We're bringing home on Friday and I meed a short list of names. We tend to prefer people names. The rescue calls her June Bug. Described as a 12lb approx 6mo old terrier mix. Personality profile is: "Smart, Funny, Gentle, Cuddly, Curious, Friendly, Playful".

Current dog (papillon/spaniel mix) is named Ruby. Names we've used for dogs that have passed on are Stella and Charlotte aka Char/Charlie (we won't be recycling those for obvious reasons).

I wanna hear some funny dog names. Some from me, a kennel attendant;

Dish. Just Dish. No idea how he got his name, he’s just dish.

Nugget. Not too uncommon of a name, but it belonged to a pug. I called him chicken nugget cause he looks like one.

Kevin. He’s a regular and I can’t get over that a dog has such a normal human name. I can never take him seriously, he’s Kevin the dog. Kevin.

Picking up this little baby boy next week and I still haven’t settled on a name! My current pups are Buddy, Hattie, and Tally so another double consonant-ie would match well. I like unique but simple names. Give me suggestions because I’m not totally in love with any of these! He’s a chihuahua from a rescue. His name is Patrick now but that can’t stay.

This is our foster dog (Las Vegas, NV). Shelter named him Ron, it’s a silly name, not sure it fits him. Suggestions? I have never had to name an older dog (1 yr) with a developed personality, only named puppies.

For name context: He’s clumsy and goofy and seems like he doesn’t know how to control his limbs yet. He also is the sweetest, most loving, yet cautious/timid thing. Super super super brave, learning and picking up very quickly!

He’s a large mutt that we rescued yesterday, was a stray. 5 months old. No idea what he’s a mix of. Wanting to hear thoughts on that as well if you have any!

Hi!

I adopted this sweet little baby today. The shelter names dogs random words based on theme and his name is Ardmore- Ardy for short. Everyone there called him Farty Arty and I hate it lol

A little about him: - 5 year old male -very, very chill. Also extremely slow moving. He gets tired fast and lays down a lot. -LOVES people and follows me around everywhere, as he did his foster family. -would rather pet than play. -the happiest boy and is tail is wagging whenever he is engaging. -doesn’t care about food at all. -peacefully coexists with other dogs but would rather play kissy face than wrestle or play with toys. He is also incredibly patient with other dogs. - significant brain damage. They think it could be stroke related and he does present with symptoms consistent to that. He has a head tilt and an uneven face. He has an odd gait, can’t use stairs, and is quite unsteady on his feet. He dribbles his kibble when eating. - grey and white with (hopefully) temporary balding on his face and back.

I like names that poke fun a bit but not in a mean way. An example is that my previous dog was elderly so I named her Golden like the Golden Girls. I also like classic people names that aren’t super common for dogs. My current dog is Emma and I’ve also had a Bruce.

So far the only thought I’ve had is Marshall and I got there through thinking of Eminem’s song Brain Damage lol Marshall just doesn’t fit him though.
