Meet the ASL Product Models: Homer D. Stanciu!


This is the second bio in our series of Meet the ASL Product Models written by our intern Skye Isabella Rose Iwanski.



Homer D. Stanciu

Homer is a wild, sweet, and adorable lap dog from Las Vegas, NV that loves his humans more than anything. He’s 11 years old, and had a silly streak as a puppy, so he was named after Homer Simpson. He turned out to be pretty smart once he grew out of his silliness, though!

One of Homer’s favorite activities is cuddling his humans, and he definitely prefers to sleep in their bed over his own. He’s a good boy who likes to ride in the car and go for walks, and he thrives with a simple life. Homer comes when you call his name, and he loves bacon treats. One of his favorite toys is a squeaky angry bird that he used to chase when his humans threw it, but now he prefers to cuddle his humans rather than run around like he did when he was younger.

Homer also has a nifty trick where he can roll himself into a ball! It makes his humans and their friends laugh every time--he saves his best tricks for when company is over.

Whenever Homer sees or hears something he doesn’t like, he makes sure to let everyone know who’s boss by barking fiercely at it. He doesn’t like anything with wheels (lawn mowers, dirt bikes, four wheelers, cars, tractors, even toys with wheels), and he also despises things that make loud sounds like hair dryers, drills, and mixers.

When his humans have had a bad day, Homer is always there with a smile, ready to see them and snuggle them. One of the first things Homer does to greet people is run up to them and lick them on the lips! It’s his way of saying he’s excited to see you and ready to cuddle.


Homer landed the modeling gig with ASL because his humans knew the humans who were advertising that a small dog was needed to model, and Homer was a shoo-in.

Homer’s ideal day would be full of the simple things--going out to go to the bathroom in the morning, eating, and sleeping for the rest of the day. He’s a special dog, and his humans can’t imagine life without him.

Meet the Product Models: Finn

Image
Meet Finn! Also known by Finley, this young pup isn't yet two years old. He's a purebred American tricolor Corgi. His humans have friends who raise corgis, and they really didn't plan on getting a dog, but when they met the puppies on the day they were born, they couldn't help themselves. Corgis are known for their fun, low-key, relaxed personalities, and Finn is no exception. Finley is a playful dog who loves to howl     for attention, after he eats (all his littermates do), and when he's satisfied. He's cuddly and adores being around people as much as possible. Finn's not a big barker, and he prefers to stick close to his humans' sides. He just wants you to pet him! He's super friendly and energetic. When Finley meets a new person, he tries to sit under their feet or wiggle himself between their legs so they have to acknowledge (and hopefully pet) him. Finley was potty trained on the first day and is very smart. He knows how to sit, lay down, and s...

Meet the Product Models: Norm Update

You might recognize Norman from his previous interview a few years ago. He recently modeled for us again for the product launch for our calming beds. And wow, Norm has been busy since then! One of the first things Norm's human, Cyndie Kieffer, said on the phone was "Norm had a day off yesterday and he was disgusted by it." Norm loves to work. He's nine years old, and a border collie/husky mix. He has lots of different jobs to keep himself busy! For one of his jobs, Norman is a photo ambassador for a pet photographer, Grace Marie . He's great at hamming it up for any camera, because he knows he's a star. Norm's got a big, friendly personality! He's actually finishing up his time as a photo ambassador, and his human says he's "loving every shoot". He's also a registered volunteer therapy dog with Pet Partners. He volunteers at nursing homes three Fridays out of each month. He loves working at Helia Healthcare, Emerald, and Brookstone ...

Meet the Spokesanimals: Tracker the Hound

Image
 Meet our newest Spokesanimal, Tracker the Hound! Tracker the Hound is a 3-month-old saddleback Bloodhound, the latest addition to the Spokesanimals of ASL Solutions! He's a real charmer. Everywhere he goes, people exclaim how sweet and cute he is. Tracker is very observant of his humans and loves to cuddle with them. Attention, being petted, and being loved on make Tracker a happy pup. Tracker enjoys his Palace Nursery. Tracker has been growing extremely quickly. His ears are so long, they fall into his water dish and get soaked. When he's sniffing something on the ground, his ears fold up on the ground, too. (This is extremely cute.) He's definitely getting used to how quickly he's growing     his coordination will soon catch up to him! When he was really little, he'd sit and wait patiently for the leash to go outside, but now as he's getting older, he's gotten more rambunctious and gets super excited to go outside, and doesn't want to sit still for ev...
