About Oreocho

Oreocho came from a family that lacked the time and energy to care for him, but that hasn’t dimmed his hope for a real home. He’s a young, small Chi-Corgi mix and hasn't let a rocky start dampen his affectionate side. Orecho is eager to be loved, snuggled, and simply included—he connects easily once he gets a chance to settle in. He does well with adults, kids, dogs, and cats, though he can be a little shy at first. If ignored or kenneled too long, he voices his unhappiness, but otherwise he just wants to be part of daily life. Oreocho is picking up house training, though he’s not 100% there yet. Socialization will help him find his groove. He’s under 10 pounds, with medium-length fur and plenty of charm. He’s looking for someone willing to offer patience and a spot on the couch.
