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

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 Gray Kitty, a loveable former stray who wandered right into Gloria Atkison's life and thus began his career as a product model for ASL Solutions! She said "God gave him to me. When Buffy [a former cat-shaped animal companion] died, I told God I wanted a solid colored longhaired cat. Gray just appeared, 3/4 grown. He'd come and go at first, and eventually he stayed." Gloria says that Gray would prefer to be a housecat, as at first he was always trying to get inside, but that is not Gray's fate, as she is allergic to cats. He still likes to lounge by the front door and paw at it for attention, food, or in an attempt to get someone to let him inside. But of course, if you let a cat inside, they immediately want to go back outside. "He was a gift." Gray is such a loving cat that at first Gloria thought he belonged to somebody else! He slinks around peoples' legs, tries to get up on their laps, puts his paws up on their knees when that fails, and rub

Meet one of our Spokesanimals, Duke Cadbury! Sweet dreams for a sweet pup Duke is a 1-year-old chocolate Labrador who joined the ASL Solutions family when he was just 8 weeks old. Duke certainly fits the bill of the beloved temperament of labs     affectionate and loyal (possibly codewords for 'clingy'     but we jest). He was born with three male siblings, but something about him in particular caught his human's eye, and she brought him home. It could've been Duke's enamoring personality; he just loves everybody and is ecstatic to see them. And then maybe he's a little confused when they don't seem to be thrilled to be jumped on. The enthusiasm is endearing, though. Are you supposed to be on the couch? Mr. Cadbury is pretty mellow, otherwise, but if he's cooped up inside too long, he gets antsy and needs to go run around outside. One of his biggest pet peeves when he was a puppy was being told he's got to go back inside. Duke used to live half indoo

 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
