Meet Oberon!Oberon arrived as a stray on January 7, 2026, and his history is still a bit of a mystery. He has a calm, confident presence and likes to set the pace-Oberon prefers to come to you when he's ready for attention rather than being crowded. Shelter staff describe him as independent but affectionate on his own terms.
My Ideal HomeA patient, stable home where Oberon can settle in at his own pace would be best. He'd do well with adopters who understand and respect a dog that prefers to approach people on his terms. A home without very young children is recommended; he may be open to older kids after proper introductions and time to bond. Slow, positive introductions to new people and animals will help him thrive.
Good with Kids?Not for very young children. Oberon is reported to prefer calm, predictable interactions and could be comfortable with older children once he has a chance to meet them and build trust.
Good with Other Pets?Unknown - his history with other animals isn't available. We recommend careful, supervised meet-and-greets and slow introductions; he may do best with a gradual introduction process.
Leash MannersLeash skills are a work in progress. Oberon will benefit from consistent, positive-reward training and a handler who is calm and patient. With gentle guidance he should learn to walk politely and feel confident on outings.
Overall HealthNeutered and microchipped, Oberon is receiving routine veterinary care and is comfortable in the shelter environment. Overall healthy and ready for the next step with the right family.
Behavior DeterminationExperienced adopters or families who can provide clear, patient leadership and respect his need to come forward on his own terms. Because his background is unknown, an adopter comfortable with gradual introductions and ongoing training will help him succeed.
Other Fun FactsOberon has a regal, easygoing vibe and a touch of independence-he enjoys pets and attention when he chooses them. He's a handsome black-and-white fellow with a sweet, steady demeanor once he trusts you.
