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.
• Look me in my eyes and tell me you don't want to take me home. It's impawssible!
• Give me a little time to adjust and I will show you I am the biggest sweetheart.
• 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 am still learning how to walk on leash, especially in new environments that can be overwhelming. I need verbal encouragement, patience and of course treats from you to help me!
• I have been diagnosed with dental disease which means I may need dental cleanings or extractions in the future.
• To learn more about my specific needs, please read my What to Expect handout.

The type of home I'm looking for:

• I would flourish in a calm environment and a low-traffic home.
• Loud noises and unpredictable movements can make me uncomfortable, I would do best in a home with calm, older children.
• I may do best with an owner who has had experience owning or caring for shy and fearful dogs.
• It could be with you! Click here to learn about the adoption process.
