About Oreo

Oreo is a young, medium-sized Border Collie and Pit Bull Terrier mix with a gentle, playful spirit. He’s just around 11 months old and already shows off his smarts and eagerness to learn. Oreo is thriving with his doggie manners training and has mastered commands like sit, lay down, and leave it. Treats? They have his full attention. He’s crate trained but clever—he’s learned how to open the crate door, so a few extra clips are needed to keep him in place. Being in the crate isn’t his favorite, but he’s getting better about it every day. Oreo gets along beautifully with everyone. He loves people, kids, dogs, and even shares his home with two cats, keeping things peaceful and friendly with them all. This sweet pup is happiest when he’s busy—playing outside with a giant Jolly Ball, tugging toys, or working on toys he can ‘pull the cream filling out of.’ He would thrive in a home that has another playful dog or a friendly cat sibling, and a fenced yard for running and games.
