ARIEL & CALIBAN
Ariel and Caliban are two 5-year-old Smooth Collies named after characters from Shakespeare’s “The Tempest.” Although born two months apart in different litters, they think of themselves as “brother and sister” and love to engage in rowdy bouts of sibling rivalry. Cali is the dark tri-colored male; Ariel the light sable-colored female. Ariel is also known to be mischief prone!

GRACIE
Gracie is an 8-year-old red tri-color Australian Shepherd who was rescued from a shelter in La Grande in 2021. She is smart and inquisitive, albeit a bit of a “Gladys Kravitz,” always wanting to know what is going on around town. Walkabout Wednesdays give her plenty of opportunities to check on things.

JASPER
Jasper is a certified mutt–part Texas heeler, part pit bull, part who-knows-what, and part ham. When he was just weeks old, he was found abandoned in Hawthorne Park. The Jackson County Animal Shelter nursed him back to health. At about three months he was adopted and had a great family, but a year later their lives changed and they thought it was best to find him a new home. Now Jasper has a big brother (a rescued Shepard mix) and they like to travel, hike, and play. His favorite activity is stick flipping and making sure that all the sticks (or trees) are out of the water!

JAXON
Jaxon is a 3-year-old English Springer Spaniel who enjoys flushing out balls rather than birds. He loves camping, hiking, and swimming, and, in winter, finds romping in snow great fun! He also is a seasoned Jacksonville tour guide, having “subbed” for Storm Large when she was on vacation. And when not exploring new sites to share with Club fans, Jaxon feels it’s his duty to stand sentinel over the town from his hillside home.

MONTY
Monty is a 7-year-old Labradoodle who loves to have his photo taken in locations around Jacksonville. He also likes chin scratches, lounging on furniture, and keeping tabs on his humans. Monty is not into Halloween-style Trick or Treat, but he will gladly do tricks for doggie treats.
 |
MOZZIE
Mozzie is a playful yellow Lab, born in early 2022. He loves belly rubs and keeping his work-from-home mom company, especially since that means hourly treats from a “good dog” cookie jar. He’s always ready for his twice daily excursions through residential neighborhoods and particularly likes to explore Jacksonville’s Pioneer Cemetery.

TREVOR
Trevor is a 13-year-old “Bagel” (Basset Hound + Beagle mix) and one of Historic Jacksonville, Inc.’s Walkabout Wednesday Club “senior citizens.” Trevor was adopted at the age of 2 from the Southern California Basset Rescue who determined his lineage and affectionately declared him a “Bagel.” His favorite outings around town are to City Hall, the Planning Department, Animal Kind, and Rebel Heart Books for treats. As a “Bagel,” Trevor brings a different visual perspective to Jacksonville than Storm Large, but Trevor is equally excited to be sharing our town’s storied history!
