Jayhawk Pet of the Month

Lenny is a one-year old toy poodle schnauzer mix (schnoodle), he is a cuddly, playful, and well-behaved dog. He loves to walk along Jayhawk Blvd and represent the Jayhawks in everything that he does!

George is a very solid and trusted Jayhawk fan. Whether we are winning or need some encouragement-he is right by my side cheering the Jayhawks on whether it be on the basketball court or the football field.

Frida, my 9-year-old pitbull-husky mix, came into my life during the peak of the COVID-19 pandemic, adopted from KC Pet Project. She\'s not just a pet; she\'s my adventure buddy—thriving on long hikes and road trips to South Dakota. When she\'s not exploring the great outdoors, Frida loves to nap and play with her cat sister. Her sweet nature and energetic spirit not only helped keep me active during lockdown but continue to inspire my daily life. Frida\'s charm has even earned her a bit of a fan club and her very own hashtag, #FridaTheDog, celebrating her delightful escapades.

Zero passed away in July 2022 at age 15. His first March Madness was when KU won in 2008, and his last was when KU won in 2022. He watched both games (and many others) with me. Zero was the goodest boy and my favorite Jayhawks watching buddy.

We adopted Hobbes from our local shelter in 2019. He was eight weeks old. It was just before the pandemic. He along with his sister, Katniss who we also adopted at the same time, made getting through Covid much easier. They are now five years old and as playful as ever. Every day they bring a smile to our faces and usually make us laugh out loud with some of their antics. What a joy it is to have them as our companions.

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!
