Story
Meet Oreo! A Sweet Senior!
Oreo is a 14-year-old Shorkie (Shih Tzu/Yorkshire Terrier mix) weighing 21 pounds, and this sweet boy is hoping his next home will be the one where he can finally settle in for good.
Oreo came to Fur Fun Rescue from our friends at the Iowa City shelter after a string of changes he certainly didn't ask for. His original owner surrendered him in December 2025 because they could no longer afford to care for him. He was adopted that December but returned in January because he had a hard time settling quietly in his kennel. He found another home in February, but sadly, his owner later became homeless and could no longer keep him.
Oreo has been through more changes than any dog should have to endure. At 14, he deserves a safe, comfortable home where he can relax, enjoy his people, and never have to worry about where he'll sleep next.
The good news is that Oreo is a sweet little guy who gets along well with other dogs and cats. He also has a bit of a stubborn streak, so don't expect him to agree with every suggestion you make. He's 14, after all, and he's earned the right to have a few opinions!
Oreo is working on getting back to a healthier weight. He gained 6 pounds at his last home, but he's already lost four pounds on his diet and has another five to go. He's making progress, and we'll help him keep moving in the right direction!
Oreo is a hypoallergenic dog and will require regular grooming. He also requires a physically fenced yard to keep him safe
Oreo isn't asking for anything fancy. He just needs someone willing to give an older dog a chance, a soft place to land, and the security of knowing he's home for good. A little patience for his stubborn moments wouldn't hurt, either!
Let's make sure Oreo never has to wonder where he belongs again.
Oreo is neutered, up to date on vaccinations, heartworm tested, and microchipped. He just had blood work done and a dental cleaning.
