Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Oreo is a 5-year old, 45 lb cattle dog. She was surrendered to Harris County Shelter in Houston Texas when her owners moved. She was surrendered with her son Banjo and daughter Osita. Oreo is deaf and she gets very attached to her person. She can be possessive of her people when other dogs are around. She tries to get in between her people and dogs so she can get all the love and attention. While she prefers to be the only dog, she understands that she needs to share sometimes.
Oreo is very loving and cuddly with her people. She will make a great companion for a forever home that can provide her love and security. Oreo enjoys learning signs for her deafness and picks them up quickly. Cheese, soft beds, long-line walks, car rides and being a couch potato are some of her favorite things. She loves outings to the local pet store, but will get snippy if another dog approaches too quickly on-leash. Oreo doesn’t like fast movements from people or dogs. She rides well in the car and will bark at unknown people walking by. She crates well at home though she prefers the couch.
Oreo is spayed, microchipped and up-to-date on vaccines. Oreo is being fostered on Camano Island and the adoption fee is $330. If you're interested in meeting Oreo, please fill out an adoption application on our website. If this listing is up, the dog is still available!
Please note — We do not do DNA testing on our foster dogs. The breed description is our best guess based on the dog’s appearance, mother’s appearance, paperwork, etc.
