My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

If you are looking for the most handsome dog in Durham, then you have to meet Oreo, a cookies-and-cream dream!

Oreo gets along with humans and dogs alike - he lives with another dog and has enjoyed time playing at doggy daycare. When it comes to meeting people, his overexuberance sometimes gets the best of him, though, and can be jumpy when excited. With the help of his foster, Oreo is receiving training to practice his best manners.

A puppy at heart, playing with chew toys is what he does best. As a power chewer, he needs super-durable toys as he learns the difference between chew toys and not chew toys. While he loves a good chew and play session, he is also crate trained for when he needs a little downtime.

Although strong, Oreo knows how to walk on a leash, enjoying regular hikes and walks. Recently, he had fun frolicking in the shallow water at the Eno River! He would love an adopter with an active lifestyle!

All in all, Oreo is a sweet, beautiful boy who can't wait to meet a forever family who will help him flourish with patient training and lots of love.

HEALTH
Oreo is up-to-date on vaccinations, microchipped, heartworm negative, and neutered.

HISTORY
Oreo lived outside on a chain in a rural county before joining IAR's dog program.

PHYSICAL
Oreo has a white coat with black patches and speckles all over his ears, face, and body. Some folks have called him "Oreo McFlurry!"

Adoption Process

Our goal is finding lifelong, loving homes for our animals, so we try to find the best match between animal and adopter. We can help advise you on which animals to meet based on your situation.

You can meet some of our animals at our weekend adoption events, or we can arrange for a meeting in the foster home. If it’s a good match, the foster parent will come to visit your home in person. This is to make sure your home is safe and secure for a new companion animal.

Note: IAR makes every effort to please our adopters, but our first concern must be for the animal’s welfare. We reserve the right to deny any application.

More about this rescue

IAR started with one woman's big dreams, a bigger heart, and a very distinctive purple pickup truck that helped her rescue countless of unwanted, abused, and homeless Triangle pets. Originally founded in 1994, IAR earned an official 501(c)(3) status in 1995. We are governed by a Board of Directors, managed by elected officers, and introduced IAR’s first paid position, General Manager, in June 2021. This role will assist with elevating our collective compassion to new heights and strengthening IAR’s impact as a whole.

Our mission is to rescue and provide safe and responsible care for homeless, abandoned, and abused animals. We shall strive to help all animals in need through our service programs. We will serve our communities through promotion of spay/neuter for all companion animals, and the education of children and adults in humane care, respect and responsibility for animals on this earth.
