Oreo is a 9-month-old pittie mix with the sweetest floppy ears and a heart that’s still learning how to feel safe. Life hasn’t been easy for him so far, and arriving at the shelter has been overwhelming—but there’s so much hope in his eyes and wiggles in his tail when he begins to trust.
He startles easily and is especially shy around men, but once he warms up, Oreo will approach gently for treats and attention. His playful spirit shines through when he’s in the yard—his bouncy “baby deer” gait brings smiles to everyone watching. He’s still a puppy at heart, and once he feels safe, his energy and affection begin to bloom.
💛 Oreo’s Personality Highlights:
🐾 Sensitive & Shy – Needs patience and gentle encouragement
🐶 Playful & Curious – Shows his silly side in the yard
🍖 Food-Motivated – Takes treats gently and is eager to please
🧠 Trainable – Will thrive with time, trust-building, and basic training
🐕 Dog-Friendly – May do well with a calm, confident dog companion
🏡 Ideal Home for Oreo:
Oreo is searching for a calm, adult-only home with a patient adopter who can help him build confidence at his own pace. An experienced dog owner would be ideal, especially someone familiar with shy or undersocialized dogs. Time, routine, and a peaceful environment will help him blossom into the incredible companion he’s meant to be.
📍 Visit Oreo:
Oreo is currently available for adoption in the large dog kennel. He’s waiting for that one special person to take a chance on him. One tail wag at a time, he’s learning to trust—and he just might be your new best friend.
📌 Come meet Oreo and help him write his next chapter filled with safety, love, and joy.
