Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Meet Orion, the handsome Aussie Heeler mix with an enthusiastic love for life! Orion adores people and loves spending time with staff members and volunteers. Whether it be a leisurely stroll on the trails or a rousing game of fetch in the play yards, this loveable pup is happiest when he's with his humans. We believe Orion would do best in a home with older children since he can get a bit nippy at times and tends to resource guard his food. Although he enjoys playtime, Orion is a true couch potato at heart and he revels in the simple pleasures of lounging indoors on a soft bed. He recently enjoyed a shelter break with one of our amazing volunteers, who shared these wonderful notes with us:
"Orion is such a smart boy! He spent the first hour exploring the yard, and chasing balls around with the most adorable zoomies. After that he was perfectly content to snuggle on the bed with a pile of blankets and stuffie toys. Orion has exceptional house manners and he is 100% potty trained! He also knows some simple commands such as "come" and "sit." He is an absolute joy of a house guest, and he is so much fun to hang out with!"
He is also potty trained and absolutely loves to play in water. Orion has had multiple dog friends here at the shelter but based off of his previous adoption we think he would be best in a single dog home as he can be territorial when other dogs are in his space. He was originally from the San Marcos Shelter where he was a long stay and unfortunately has recently become a long stay at PAWS. This sweet boy will be a wonderful addition to a family looking for a loyal and gentle companion!
