My story

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

***Adoption Fee WAIVED***
Hello there, I'm Orion, your friendly, fur-tastic canine companion! Picture a sleek, starry-coated gentleman who knows how to charm his way into your heart.

First and foremost, my foster family says I'm quite the gentleman, and I couldn't agree more. I've got manners that would make even the fanciest of poodles jealous. Opening doors for you? Check. Offering a paw for a polite shake? Absolutely. When it comes to being a well-behaved doggo, I've got 'sit' down to a science. And yes, that means I'm housetrained. And guess what, for a big boy, I'm also pretty quiet.

Now, let's talk about my snuggling skills. They say I'm a great snuggler, and I take that title very seriously.

I'm a lover of the great outdoors and car rides, too! Going on walks is one of my favorite activities. I'll lead the way with my confident stride, always ready to explore new trails. It's not just about the exercise; it's about the journey, the scents, and the joy of being by your side.

And finally, I give the best hugs! Lean in, and I'll wrap my paws around you like a bear hug from a best friend. It's my way of showing just how much I love and appreciate you.

So, if you're looking for a well-mannered, snuggle-loving, walk-ready companion who'll brighten your day and your nights, I'm your Orion. My only ask is to be your one and only pooch and please, no cats.

Post Adoption Training Scholarship (PATS)
At SAVE, we understand that the current economy presents challenges, and this impacts dog adoption rates. To ease the financial burden on adopters and help our adoptable dogs find their forever homes, we are excited to introduce the Post Adoption Training Scholarship (PATS) program. This initiative funds the first five training sessions with a qualified trainer for select medium and large breed dogs, identified in their adoption bios. For more information, please call the shelter director (Jack Griffin) and ask about the PATS program.
