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.
  • 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.
  • My playful antics and endless affection are sure to make you smile and always brighten your day!
  • I enjoy living an active lifestyle! I would love to get up and go adventure with you.
  • Resource Guarding: I have a history of guarding my people, food, toys and/or bedding from other animals or people.
  • Give me treats and pets and you will be my new favorite person.
  • I love to be the center of attention. All eyes and pets on me, please!
  • I had so much fun meeting another dog here in the shelter. My friends at OHS think I would be great at making new dog friends!

The type of home I'm looking for:

  • I will need to meet any canine companions prior to getting adopted.
  • I need a home without cats, small dogs, or other small animals.
  • My energy and size can be a lot for little kids, but I could do great with older, dog-savvy children.
  • It could be with you! Click here to learn about the adoption process.
