You’re a girl’s girl, a dancing queen. You enjoy dopamine dressing, a sweet treat, and a life with plushies, but you aren’t afraid to get your paws dirty for a good time. Friends ask you how you are always so full of life and joy.

Perfect Pair: Yawni
Maybe she’s born with it, maybe it’s Yawni!

Yawni is a designer girl with big dreams and a love for plush toys. Her happy dance is as contagious as her joyful expression. Yawni will be your cheerleader, wingwoman, and perfect sidekick from the couch to the park and everywhere in between.

Are you the cautious friend? You take life seriously, but your friends know that you know how to have a good time. You are prepared for any challenge that comes your way, but you might be a little concerned about it, AND it’s written all over your face. Outside is where the people are; while you don’t mind people-ing, you’d much rather be cozy on the couch with a good book.

Perfect Pair: Marley

Marley is a happy, cautious boy. He loves his people and going on adventures but prefers the comfort of the familiar, especially on the couch. Marley keeps it low-key.

Meet Marley at the Leslie A. Malone Center.
