what my friends at OHS say about me:

  • I came all the way to OHS through the Second Chance Program.
  • I've had a hard time adjusting to shelter life and my friends here are still getting to know me. Soft voices, a calm home, and high-value treats will be the key to unlocking my true personality!
  • 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 can be worried and anxious in new surroundings. I may take time to adjust to a new environment.
  • If you have a vacant lap, I would be glad to keep it warm!
  • Are you ready for me and you to be stuck like glue?
  • Caution: I will steal your heart!
  • 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.

The type of home I'm looking for:

  • I can be easily surprised by unpredictable people. I may do best with children who can be slow and gentle with me.

  • Choo Choo! Duke express comin' through! I can pull like a freight train on leash, so I'll need support from my forever family to work on my leash manners.
  • Escape Artist: I have a history of wandering off and escaping 4 foot fences. I will need supervision when outdoors or we can go on adventures together - on leash of course!

The type of home I'm looking for:

I can be shy in new spaces. I need a family who will let me take things at my own pace as I learn about new things. Once I come out of my shell, I have lots of love to give.

I'm easy going. Wanna go for a walk? Okay. Hang out in the yard? No problem. Just relax on the couch? I can do that. I'm pretty happy to go at your pace and I don't really need much more than most dogs do. If you're looking for a steady companion, I'm all yours.

It's recommended I meet any dogs or kids living in my new home before I'm adopted. I just want to make sure we all get along.

Here's what you need to know about me:

I'd like a relaxed home. I wouldn't say I'm "old"... I've just been around for a while.

I like to take it easy at home - I'm not up for lots of activity.
