My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Can you believe that face?? Orion is a big, sweet fella who came to PAWS as a puppy with his brother and sister, Oreo and Olga. While all three siblings were quickly adopted, Orion came back to PAWS a few years later after being picked up as a stray far from his Chicago home (thank you microchips!!!).

Since returning to PAWS, it's clear our sweet, gentle giant will need a forever family that will be sensitive to the unknown parts of his past. Despite his brawny exterior, Orion is a shy guy these days, and will need someone who's willing to take it slow with him. We know he lived with another dog before, but stranger-dogs on the street make him a little nervous, too. Cats are especially menacing!

Look at that big, handsome face one more time and think, could you be Orion's second chance at forever? Do you have a home where Orion could be your only pet? Do you have experience with dogs like Orion, who need a little extra TLC as they learn to trust the humans around them again? Do you have a heart the size of Orion's head, so that he can fill it with the love he's been waiting so patiently to give?? If so, you might just be Orion's perfect match. Want to make sure you're right for each other before making it official? Consider fostering before you adopt! Fostering with the intent to adopt is a great way to see how an animal will fit in before making things official. While fostering, you'll have full support from PAWS for medical, behavioral, and food needs.
