My story

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

Orion, the handsome Australian Red Heeler mixed breed, is a testament to resilience and loyalty. Rescued from the San Marcos animal shelter after a prolonged stay, this large adult dog longs to find his forever home. Orion is housebroken, proving himself to be an ideal companion for any household. Despite his rough start, Orion's affectionate nature shines through, endearing him to all who cross his path.

While some might expect a high-energy demeanor from a cattle dog mix, Orion breaks the stereotype with his surprising love for relaxation. A true couch potato at heart, he revels in the simple pleasures of lounging indoors, content to soak up the warmth of his human's company. However, don't let his love for leisure fool you-Orion's eyes light up with excitement at the mention of a game of fetch. His boundless enthusiasm for this classic pastime is infectious, bringing joy to all who join in the fun.

Despite his gentle disposition, Orion is discerning when it comes to his canine companions. Selective in his interactions, he prefers the company of dogs who share his easygoing demeanor and respect his personal space. With the right match, Orion's loyalty knows no bounds, forging bonds that withstand the test of time.
