About Oreo

Oreo is a 2-year-old Morkie, a mix of Maltese and Yorkie, who weighs 15.3 lbs. His coat is black and white, though he’s still recovering from a tough past. Oreo was among the 12 dogs abandoned in a ditch, suffering from fleas and anemia. He’s understandably scared and unfamiliar with basic experiences like walking on a leash. Luckily, he’s now in foster care where he’s receiving the love and care he needs. While he adores being petted and getting attention, he requires a patient home that can help him gain confidence and learn how to be a normal dog. Oreo has been neutered, vaccinated, microchipped, and is on heartworm and flea prevention. He received an allergy shot to help his skin heal from flea damage, so he’ll need some time to recover fully. Click apply to start the adoption process.
