About Orion

Orion is on the lookout for a loving home where he can share his warmth and gentleness. This 5-year-old Labrador Retriever mix weighs about 70 pounds and has a kind, quiet demeanor that endears him to everyone he meets. Though he carries some scars from his past, his spirit shines with affection and patience. He thrives in a crate and is completely house trained, making him a hassle-free addition to any household. Walks are one of his favorite activities, but his true joy comes from cuddling up in your lap or enjoying your company around the house. Orion has a soft spot for stuffed animals and, while he currently uses pillows due to a shortage of toys, he'd be over the moon to have some safe stuffies to play with. His calm nature makes him well-suited for families with children and other pets, as he gets along famously with dogs and remains non-reactive even in the presence of more aggressive pups. Orion might be quiet, possibly due to his previous experiences, but his playfulness shines through when he's engaged in a game of tug with his foster siblings. While he can adapt to a crate at night, he's more than ready to snuggle beside you if given the chance. Although he has a history of untreated ear infections leading to some manageable scarring, he’s grateful for the love and care he now receives. In his time with his foster family, he's learned to let go of survival instincts and instead enjoys the comforts of a loving home. Orion will be ready for adoption in Rhode Island starting July 17th. If you’re an approved adopter, reach out to secure your spot for this wonderful companion!
