What my friends at OHS say about me:

• I have been working with the Behavior and Training team here at OHS for consistency and am looking for a special home. It will take time and patience to get to know me. You'll need to meet with me multiple times before taking me home.
• To learn more about my specific needs, please read my What to Expect handout.
• I love to learn! I know some basic cues, such as sit, stay, touch, crate, and walking nicely on leash! You can use my favorite toys or treats as positive reinforcement and to teach me new things.
• High Energy: I can become easily frustrated if my energy and exercise needs are not met. I will need positive outlets and a calm environment to help me flourish.
• I really, really, really enjoy the company of my human friends.
• I'm a very playful pup who has never lived inside before. I am still learning how to be an indoor dog, but I LOOOOOVE these comfy things you call couches so far!
• Resource Guarding: I have a history of guarding my people, food, toys and/or bedding from other animals or people.
• I love to run! I have been on the running team while at OHS and would make a great running buddy!

The type of home I'm looking for:

• I would prefer to be the only dog in the home, as I've never lived indoors as a pet dog and need some time to learn & adjust.
• I will need to meet any canine companions prior to getting adopted.
• I need to go to a home without small children. I don't really know how to control my body and will certainly knock over little ones. Teenagers would be fun!
• I need a home without cats or other small animals. I'm learning how to interact with small creatures.
• It could be with you! Click here to learn about the adoption process.
