My story

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

What my friends at OHS say about me:

I have been working with the Behavior team at OHS and I'm looking for a special home. It will take time and patience to get to know me. Click the "meet me" button to start the process and schedule an appointment.

To learn more about my specific needs, please read my What to Expect handout.

I love to learn! You can use my favorite toys or treats as positive reinforcement and to teach me new things. I already know some basic cues such as, sit, down, stay, & touch, and I'm putting in the work on walking nicely on leash.

Looking to try cool dog activities or sports? I am a great partner for that!

High Energy: I can become easily frustrated if my energy and exercise needs are not met. I will need positive outlets and a calm environment to help me flourish.

I am used to living an active lifestyle! I would love to get up and go adventure with you. Walks, hikes, & trips to the beach or river all sound like a grand time to me!

Making new friends is so much fun! I'm a very social and confident gal.

I had so much fun meeting other dogs here in the shelter. My friends at OHS think I would be great at making new dog friends!

The type of home I'm looking for:

My energy and size can be a lot for little kids, but I would do great with older, dog-savvy children.

I may do best in a home without cats or small animals, but having another dog to play with would be very fun!

I will need to meet any canine companions prior to getting adopted.
