My story

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

Approximate Age: 5.5 years
Approximate Weight: 8 lbs

Meet Tator Tot!

● One of 101 dogs saved from a hoarding situation; may need extra time to build confidence and feel secure.

● Learning about basic skills, leash walking, and indoor living after being rescued.

● Will thrive with a patient adopter who understands decompression and a slow, supported transition.

I just arrived to ODHS but the humans promised to update my bio as they learn more about me! Put in an application and come meet me soon.

You can still come adopt me or even join our foster program to help the humans learn all the awesome things about new dogs like me! Learn more on our website!

Hope to see you soon!
