My story

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

Pennington County Humane Society 



Meet Orea
Orea is a gentle, medium‑sized mama dog who has done her very best in a tough situation. She came to us with her litter of puppies after her owner became overwhelmed and could no longer care for her. Despite the uncertainty she's been through, Orea's heart is soft and steady. She's a timid girl who needs a little time to feel safe, but once she trusts you, she leans into quiet affection and blossoms with patience.

Orea hasn't had much structure in her life yet—housetraining, basic commands, and new environments are all things she's still learning. What she does know is how to be sweet, gentle, and grateful for kindness. She enjoys calm voices, soft pets, and people who let her set the pace. With a patient foster home, she'll continue to gain confidence and discover what it means to be part of a loving, stable environment.

Orea is available for foster with her puppies or transfer to a trusted rescue‑based partner through Pennington County Humane Society. To learn more or offer this little family a safe place to land, call 218‑681‑8045.
