Lab Pets

Bandit

Bandit is a lab mix rescue. He is estimated to be between 7 and 9 years old. He enjoys long walks, trips to the dog park, napping in the sun, and destroying his favorite stuffed animal toys. His favorite treats include cheese, yogurt, and carrots.

George

George is a goofy ball of fluff who loves to sunbathe and chirp at the local bird population. When he is taking a break from napping, George likes to make mischief and dump his water bowl all over the wood floor. After getting his daily dose of destruction, George loves to snuggle and pretend like he never made a mess.

Lily

Lily is an expert Newfoundland/Golden mix in the field of maximizing hugs and pets from all humans.

Mochi

Mochi has a very successful career as a full-time napper during the day and a seasoned vocalist by night. He is known to enjoy creating confetti with every cardboard box that he sees, climbing to the highest places he can, zooming around his apartment, and watching birds from his perch. He loves to cuddle and wants to be a part of everything that you are doing.

Ollie

Ollivander (yes, like the wandmaker), known to most as Ollie, is a clumsy but very sweet kitty who recently made the transition from barn cat to dedicated lap cat. He spends his days exploring, occasionally stumbling into things, and charming everyone he meets. He’s completely enthralled by his water fountain and can often be found staring at it with intense curiosity, as if it holds ancient magical secrets. When night falls, he unleashes his signature zoomies before eventually settling in for cuddles.

Pickle

Pickle is a male Pacman Frog who wins the award for laziest frog of all time. The fat little guy spends most of his time buried in the dirt, only poking his eyes out when he feels like getting served up a worm or two. Even then, he often misses, gets dirt on his tongue, and gives up on eating! He redeems himself in cuteness.

Rory

Tiny but mighty, Rory operates on a “my way or the highway” philosophy. She enjoys chin scratches (on her terms), contemplating world domination, gazing out of windows, and complaining about getting her nails trimmed.

Sammy

Sammy is a female Leopard Gecko who could star on Gecko vs Food with her crazy appetite. Her detective work has led her to deduce people = food, so she spends lots of time begging at the glass when her owner is around. Other activities she enjoys include sleeping all day and warming her belly under the heat lamp.

Tad

Tad is a Central Bearded Dragon (Pogona vitticeps). Age unknown and unknowable (at least 10 years old, possibly immortal?). His role models include Godzilla, Smaug, and the T-Rex from Jurassic Park. When not plotting world domination, he enjoys basking under his heating lamp, watching TV, and staring disdainfully at his foolish human servants. His favorite treats include berries, worms, and the tears of his enemies.

Belle

Belle is an expert Border Collie in all things you need to do to support her job which consists of chasing anything including squirrels, dogs, cars, frisbees, running children, leaves, etc.

Gloria

Gloria is a >30-year-old Three-Toed Box Turtle. Originally missexed by the pet store, Gloria is actually a guy (Glorio?) but the name and she/her pronouns have stuck around. She enjoys long soaks in the water bowl, climbing her log, and staring down anyone who approaches her tank. She is obsessed with corn, which she sadly only gets to eat as an occasional treat.

Miso

Miso is a refined gentleman with a flair for the dramatic. He enjoys being pampered, lounging in the sun, judging you, and making sure everyone knows he’s the most important creature in the room. Beneath the theatrics, he’s a total sweetheart who just wants love and absolutely cannot live without you.

Narset

(record scratch) Yep, that’s me. You’re probably wondering how I got here. Well, when your name is Narset Heiden, and you have a title like “First of Her Name, Queen of Anxiousness, Khaleesi of the Great Littery Box, Breaker of Sleep Cycles, and Mother of Stealing your Heart and your significant other’s heart” you tend to find yourself in some unusual positions. When I’m not doing copious amounts of catnip, you can find me chirping to the birds, chasing that dreaded laser light, and making blanket biscuits.

Pepper

Pepper is very talkative and playful. Although her mom is a scientist, she did not inherit many useful brain cells. She has never turned down a rotisserie chicken and loves to be velcroed to your side.

Pumpkin

Pumpkin is the lab witch - brewing up good luck for everyone she meets! She is very spunky and enjoys walking across keyboards while her mom updates lab notebooks. She has never met a person she dislikes or a bird she likes.

Salem

Salem operates exclusively on vibes and bad decisions. A known food thief and cardboard box connoisseur, he spends his time zooming at full speed, knocking everything over, and chewing through every phone charger you own. He may lack brain cells, but what he lacks in logic, he makes up for in pure, unfiltered affection.

Sherlock

Hardened by the streets of Northwest Arkansas, Sherlock has brought his investigative talents to the Dallas-Fort Worth area. When he is not chasing his own tail or tormenting his sister, he enjoys playing with toys, taking long naps, and solving mysteries.

Unzu & Bongi

Unzu and Bongi are female Poison Dart Frogs. Despite living in a massive, “bioactive” rainforest tank, they often butt heads and squabble over food. After many months of separation, they were recently re-introduced and are working through their differences.
