Jayhawk Pet of the Month

Winnie and Mr. Blue are goldendoodles who love to play outside and snuggle. They are both lap dogs. They live in a house full of Jayhawk spirit! Two alumni, a current freshman at KU, and two little sisters excited to attend in the future. Rock Chalk!

Luna is a 7-year-old Great Pyrenees who is full of fur and full of energy! She loves Jayhawk game days because she knows there will be a lot of good snacks.

Cockapoo sisters, Sophie (B&W) and Lily (white) live across the street from each other and really are from the same littler. Both love going for walks and playing with toys. They enjoy plays dates, sleeping over, celebrating their birthdays together, and being spoiled by their owners Linda & Eric Hyler, and Julie and J.R. Rigg. Once in a while one will sneak away only to found on the front steps of her sister's house. This year's birthday featured a KU theme.

Hi, I’m Wrigley. I live with four cats, including my twin sister, Elliott. We all live with Tiffany Strohmeyer in Topeka. I watch the KU basketball games on TV while Tiffany is at the Fieldhouse. I hide when Tiffany watches the KU basketball games at home because she yells too loud at the TV. I am a sweet, happy boy, who loves Baby Jay the most. Even though I am a cat, I hate the K-State Wildcats!

Luka is a mini golden doodle. He is the most energetic and social dog you’ll ever meet. His favorite things include playing with kids, his piñata squeaky toy, and watching the hawks pull out another W in his blue KU #10 jersey.

Gussie is 20 yrs old and likes to ride (sleep) in the car - but ALWAYS on her favorite blanket!

Faith is a 2-year-old Miniature Sheltie from Caring Hands Humane Society. She was adopted by KU Alumni Association members Michael & Tonya Hinton of Hutchinson. Faith is a loving soul and embodies the very essence of what it means to be a Jayhawk - "Demonstrating enthusiasm, ambition, & spirit; and living a joyful, sociable, gentle-natured life every day!" Rock Chalk!

He’s a fluffy, mischievous 12 week old Mini Goldendoodle. When we brought him home we put my son’s old Jayhawk baby blanket (our son is 9 now) in his dog bed so he would feel cozy and warm at night. He loves it and loves to snuggle with it! We will get him watching games soon!

Roscoe is a miniature Golden Doodle and almost 2 years old. He is a smart, silly, rascal-devilish Doodle who loves to play fetch, tug and give us kisses. He loves wearing his Jayhawk t shirt on game days!

Even though she was born in Missouri, Nala quickly became a Jayhawk fan when she was adopted by the Frederick family in Lawrence. She is a 4-year-old Cocker Spaniel who loves watching KU football and basketball games while snuggling with her family. Nala’s favorite cold weather fashion accessory is her warm and cozy Jayhawk sweater. Even after rolling in the snow, her Jayhawk spirit still shines through!

Juando is named after current KU point guard Dajuan Harris (our previous pup was named Doka, after Udoka Azubuike…). Juando is a twice-returned shelter dog, a super-high-energy pit/basset hound mix (among other things!) who is a great team player who rounds out our starting five (2 humans, 2 cats) in a wonderful way! While he is a Jayhawk through-and-through, he is arguably the most popular dog on the University of Cincinnati campus, where his Mom (Audrey, a KU grad like Dad Jason) is a new professor.

James Naismith is a Teddy Bear Breed and watches KU with his Dad!
