Luckily someone found him while out on their morning stroll, and even though they could not bring him home due to housing restrictions, they visited him every day to provide not only food and clean water, but kindness and love. Oreo was so smart; he knew they would come, and every day he was waiting at the same time and the same spot. It took a bit to go through the proper channels to prove he was abandoned and in need of help, but between his kind guardian friends and the amazing rescue network down there, he was saved and brought under care of NELR so he could come north to find happiness in a loving family and safe home. Oreo is such a love to have around, and we are so excited to help him get the life he deserves! He's good and gentle with kids, and loves playtime with other dogs. He's also been absolutely lovely with the residents of an elderly home he's been "working" at with his foster. He takes the elevator with no troubles and amuses residents with his adorable penchant for sitting in chairs. He can relax and laze about with you or accompany you on a fun adventure, he's really just the best companion no matter what you have going on! Oreo is somewhat afraid of cats, but with a gentle/dog-savvy kitty, and slow introductions, he could go to a home with one. He loves swimming and being in the water, so access to a swimming hole or a clean kiddie pool would be so much fun for him! Most of all, Oreo loves love and is so happy to be your buddy. He loves hanging out with his favorite humans and accompanying them throughout the day, as support or maybe just to give and receive some hugs! What a love he is.
