About Oreo

Oreo is a cloud of energy and fluff looking for a new start after being surrendered due to an overcrowded home. Nearly 2 years old and about 35 pounds, he thrives best with another playful dog his size and gets anxious around larger breeds. This corgi needs plenty of daily walks, mentally stimulating activities, and weekend adventures—think hikes or dog sports—not just a yard. Apartment life isn’t his thing, and he really does require a decent fenced yard to run off his busy brain and energy. He’s a sharp dog but would benefit from basic manners training, especially to help him bond and show off what he knows. Oreo still marks indoors when stressed or around unfamiliar male dogs, so frequent trips outside, a belly band at night (usually dry by morning), and continued structure are important. He tolerates a kennel for short periods but is happier when someone’s home much of the day. Kids must be over 12, as he’s spooked by sudden movements and grabby hands; homes with cats aren’t recommended since his strong herding drive may stress them out. First-time owners, skip this one—Oreo needs a steady, herding-breed-savvy adopter with patience and a willingness to help him settle into new routines. Give him time, validation, and don’t forget to tell him he's a good boy (frequently). Once settled, he’s affectionate and cuddly. Ready to meet your new best friend? Apply now!
