working with the Behavior team at OHS and I'm looking for a special
home. It will take time and patience to get to know me. Click the "meet
me" button to start the process and schedule an appointment.
- 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 may be shy at first, but once we get to know each other I will shower you with love!
-
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't wait to show my new family how playful I am!
- I had so much fun meeting other dogs 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 would flourish in a calm environment and a low-traffic home away from busy downtown like neighborhoods.
- I may do best in a home where there is another dog to help boost my confidence and for me to play with.
- I will need to meet any canine companions prior to getting adopted.
- I need to go to a home without small children, as loud noises and fast movement can frighten me.
