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.
