what my friends at OHS say about me:

  • Despite my cute, cuddly size, I want the cuddling to be on my terms, as I don't always want to be fussed over.

  • I can be picky about my canine companions. Slow introductions and having my own space will be important for me to adjust to a home with resident dogs.
  • I will need to meet any canine companions prior to getting adopted.
  • To learn more about my specific needs, please read my What to Expect handout.

The type of home I'm looking for:

  • I must go to a home with a fenced in yard.
  • I need to go to a home without small 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.

Interested in adopting me?

Animals available for adoption in foster homes need a special questionnaire submitted. From there, we will make an initial appointment for a phone consult to discuss their needs, and then schedule a meet and greet. Appointments are set on a first-come first-served basis in the order that we receive the questionnaires.

PAPYRUS # 396234 Breed: American Shelter Dog Neutered male 2 yrs 6 mths 59 lbs
 
*Gets Along with Dogs 
 
Meet Papyrus, a handsome American Shelter Dog who has quickly become a favorite due to his clever and affectionate personality. This smart boy is highly treat-motivated and already knows commands like sit, shake, and touch. While noisy environments or sounds like trains and helicopters can make him a little nervous at first, he is incredibly resilient and quickly shakes off his anxiety with a patient companion and some tasty snacks. Papyrus is an absolute superstar with other dogs, greeting new friends politely with a high wagging tail and showing off his best play bows during fun rounds of chase. He is exceptionally patient and tolerant with rowdy playmates, though he is mature enough to step away when a playgroup gets a bit too large or overwhelming. On walks, he loves to explore the world through his nose and would be a wonderful candidate for scent work, and using a harness helps beautifully manage his excited pulling when he gets distracted by interesting smells. Once he gets his bearings, his sweet nature shines through as he comfortably climbs into your lap and happily accepts full-body pets. Papyrus will truly thrive in a patient home with a loving routine.
