Oreo

Terrier (Unknown Type, Medium) Patterdale Terrier (Fell Terrier)

Male, Senior

Lincolnshire, IL

Size

(when grown) Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)

Details

Not good with dogs, Not good with cats, Needs special attention, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,

Story

Oreo is a terrier mix who is almost 12 years old (his birthday is on Valentine's Day!) We adopted him from Orphans of the Storm in 2020 where we were informed that he came from a home of neglect and abuse, so he does take time to warm up to and he is not a very cuddly dog. He is a big foodie and a very calm dog (he rarely barks). He enjoys his time in the sun inside and exploring the outdoors. He knows some commands like sit, paw, and turn around, and he will eventually learn as long as food is involved! Oreo is house trained, however he is getting old. He leaks a few drops, so we have been using diapers (his special need), which work well. (He has never had incidents with #2, only #1). Oreo is one of a kind; he is shy, quiet, but will get very energetic for food, sometimes he shows some attitude, and other times he will quietly come and sit next to you and give you his paw. Overall, Oreo is looking for a patient, calm, and loving home, with $0 adoption fee.

Story

Meet Areil! Ariel is a sweet, gentle 2 year old 40lb Cattle Hound mix with a playful yet submissive personality and a whole lot of love to give. She adores being around people and other dogs and wants to be part of the household action, happily following her foster mom from room to room just to stay close. Ariel is crate trained and doing well with basic commands. She is still polishing her housetraining skills, specifically learning how to let her foster mom know when she needs to go out, but she does great with pottying outside. She knows her name, comes when called, and is always excited for the next adventure whether thats romping in the backyard, enjoying long walks, or curling up on the couch for cuddle time. Curious by nature, Ariel can entertain herself and loves playing with the smaller dogs in her foster home. She is excellent at sharing her bones and toys and is just an all around sweet natured dog. Shes also curious about cats, but as long as they arent running, she shows no desire in chase. Ariel would thrive in many types of homes, as long as she has a daily opportunity to stretch her legs and, most importantly, a loving person to snuggle with in the evenings. If youre looking for a sweet, loyal companion, she may be your girl! Please visit our website www.forgoodrescue.org to learn more about this amazing pet and to see other available dogs.
