About Oriette

They are waiting with paws crossed! Apply now! Introducing Oriette! Oriette is an 8-year-old female Pomeranian weighing about 10 pounds who found her way to rescue from a rural puppy mill. After arriving heartworm positive, Oriette bravely completed her treatment and is thriving in foster care. She is a gentle, observant soul—timid at first, but learning daily how wonderful it can be to trust and love her people. Oriette will not rush into your arms on day one, yet the gradual loyalty and affection she builds is deeply rewarding for patient adopters seeking a meaningful connection. Oriette finds comfort in routine and a calm environment. She has developed a fondness for curling up alongside foster siblings, enjoys gentle company, and favors cozy TV sessions over rambunctious playtimes. Because she takes great comfort from other dogs, her forever home should have a confident canine companion to help her continue blossoming. Oriette is making progress with harness walking, but a securely fenced yard is a must since she’s not fully leash-trained. She’s crate trained, mostly house trained with regular outdoor opportunities, enjoys grooming, and thrives with consistency, gentle encouragement, and kindness. Watching Oriette gain confidence and offer her trust is truly special. Oriette comes spayed, microchipped, and up to date on vaccines and prevention. She is currently fostered in the Orlando area and will make a devoted companion for someone willing to support her gentle, quiet nature. Make their next chapter their best one yet.
