Basco

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! You can use my favorite toys or treats as positive reinforcement and to teach me new things.
• Shy and Nervous: I can be worried about new people, new surroundings and touch. I prefer to take things at my own pace and will need to live in a calm environment.
• I really enjoy the company of my human friends and love to crawl into a lap for cuddles.
• I have lived with other dogs in my last home and would love to go home with another social confident dog. No size preferences.

The type of home I'm looking for:

• I am not for the first time dog owner. Someone very familiar with canine body language is a must for me.
• I need a home without cats or other small animals.
• I need to go to an adult only home.
• I would flourish in a calm environment and a low-traffic home.
• I will need to meet any canine companions prior to getting adopted.
• It could be with you! Click here to learn about the adoption process.

Interested in adopting me?

Adoption meet and greets are done by appointment, but the shelter is open for walk-through viewing. We also have availability each day for walk-in adoptions.

Submit an adoption questionnaire for a pet you are interested in, and we will contact you to set up your meet and greet when you become the next in line.
