About Oreo

They are ready to love you; are you ready to apply? Oreo's early life was spent largely in a crate, with little time spent with people, but thanks to a caring foster, he's been given a new chance to discover the joys of being a dog. Day by day, Oreo is learning what it means to play, explore, and just enjoy life, aided by his foster siblings who are helping him find his way. While he can be a bit grumpy at times and is still picking up the rules, Oreo's heart is open to the idea of a loving family who will help him feel safe and cherished. Oreo would do well as the only dog in the house, though he has learned to watch and occasionally enjoy the company of other pups. He is looking for a forever home where patience is valued and where his big heart will be appreciated by someone ready to offer him the security and love he truly deserves. Born on April 4th, Oreo is an Aries, a sign known for its bold spirit and loving nature—qualities you'll quickly notice in him. Give them the home they have been waiting for. Apply today.
