Let’s talk about Oreo, a delightful small sheltie-miniature poodle mix! Born on March 5 of this year, this 9-month-old puppy is packed with charm and sweetness! 🥰 Oreo was yet another forgotten pup from a litter that was abandoned but has been given a second chance at love and happiness in a wonderful foster home. Now, while he may be catching up on his social skills and potty training, just look at those big, hopeful eyes! 🐶 He's a playful bundle of joy who adores toys and playing with his canine friends. But here’s the thing: he’s a little on the submissive side, which means he sometimes gets teased by those more dominant pups. What he really needs is a small, friendly, and easygoing buddy to help him navigate this big, beautiful world! Oreo absolutely LOVES the great outdoors! 🌳 He’s got some energy to burn and dreams of zooming around in a secure fenced yard where he can play fetch… or, let’s be honest, perhaps chase a squirrel or two! 🐿️ But be warned, he might get so distracted by those little critters that he forgets to come when called, so a loving home with a secure yard is a MUST for this precious boy! While he’s super affectionate and loves a good cuddle session (seriously, he’s a cuddler extraordinaire! 🤗), he’s also got a bit of a shy streak. This means kids in the house should be 12 years or older and respectful of his space. Oreo may bark at unfamiliar faces, but trust me, he just needs time to warm up. Now, let’s talk training! Oreo has nailed the ‘sit’ command, and he’s learning to walk nicely on a leash (except when he spots a squirrel, and all bets are off!). He would love to join some basic obedience classes to polish up his skills and give him that extra boost of confidence. 📚 In the car, he’s a good little traveler, happily secured in a crate or lounging on a blanket while tethered – safety first! 🚗 He’s got a playful spirit and loves to dig, so get him his very own dirt pile – trust me, he’ll greatly appreciate it! With an adorable weight of 15.5 pounds and still growing, Oreo is neutered, up-to-date on vaccinations, and microchipped. 🏷️ Plus, he'll need a grooming buddy—4-5 times a year—to keep his coat looking fabulous! 💇‍♂️ So, if you’re ready to open your heart and home to this lovable little soul, and you have previous dog experience, a playful mentor dog, and a secure fenced yard, it’s time to let your heart lead the way. 💖 Don’t wait—*apply through the Buddy App* to adopt Oreo today! He’s waiting to steal your heart!
