About Oreo

Meet Oreo! Oreo is an energetic eleven-year-old Terrier mix residing in Amherst, MA. His black-and-white coat complements his affectionate nature, making him a delightful companion. Weighing about 30 pounds, he enjoys exploring his surroundings, curling up for pets, and giving kisses to those he trusts. Despite his age, Oreo still approaches life with vivacity, loving his time in the yard and on walks. Oreo is house-trained, neutered, and up to date with vaccinations. He knows commands like 'sit' and responds well when called, demonstrating his smarts. He does have a strong prey drive, so a securely fenced yard is essential for his explorations, and he should be in a home without cats. While he can be selective with dogs, he coexisted peacefully with a Shih-Tzu, suggesting he may do well with a calm canine companion if introduced properly. An adult-only home is ideal for Oreo since he can be sensitive to loud noises and may show possessive behavior around food. It's best to manage meal times with care. He is fine being alone for short stretches but may experience anxiety during storms or fireworks. Regular grooming every two to three weeks keeps his medium coat in good condition. Oreo is eager for his next chapter, looking for cuddles, adventure, and companionship. Could you be the loving home he deserves? Start your journey together! Apply now.
