Name: Oriole Age: 6-9 months old Weight: 45lbs Breed: Boston terrier Mix A sweet boy named Oriole came from a life of unimaginable abuse. Oriole was reportedly beaten 4–5 times a day for at least five months in his previous home. His most recent injury left him with a femoral fracture, an injury his veterinarian says could only have been caused by force comparable to that of a moving car. This has left Oriole in extreme pain, and he will soon be undergoing surgery to repair the damage. Oriole also lived confined to a roughly 5-foot area on a linoleum floor, rarely went outside, and was left to sit in his own feces and urine. Despite everything he has endured, Oriole's spirit is still very much alive. About Oriole • Approximately 9 months old • Incredibly affectionate and goofy • Has done great with dogs and cats • Crate trained and does well when left alone • Can be anxious around new people and will need slow, patient introductions • Will thrive with plenty of enrichment, structure, and love Oriole has survived things no dog ever should—but he hasn't given up on people. If you have a calm home, a big heart, and the patience to help a survivor heal, you could change Oriole's life forever.
