Oreo spent his early life chained to a doghouse, which left him a bit timid at first but eager for comfort once he feels safe. At just over 30 pounds and around ten months old, Oreo warms up surprisingly fast—he figured out the doggy door within minutes and quickly adapted to being house trained. He likes to stay close to people, though that gentle closeness takes a little time while he learns to trust new friends. Oreo would do best in a home with another dog, as he's still absorbing how to live indoors with kindness and structure. Given his start, a patient household that understands shy dogs will see him settle in and grow more confident every day. Ready to meet your new best friend? Apply now!
