For Adopt a Pet and the PEDIGREE® brand, October is all about finding homes for dogs in shelters. Adopt this month for a PEDIGREE® Wet Food Pouch and a chance to win a Homecoming-style photo shoot and shelter donation.
I found a new home! Plenty of my friends are looking for one too. Check out other pets at this shelter, or start a new search.

About me: I am such a sweet happy girl. I like to snuggle and have my belly rubbed. I’m not into giving kisses as much as my siblings, but I have a few to share. My “official” name is Orchid, but my foster mom calls me Chrissy. I don’t always remember to sit for food and a treat, but I’m sure I’ll catch on soon. I love to take daily walks through the big yard with my siblings. We follow along pretty well, but are learning that exploring the smells, good and bad, outside is fun so sometimes we get sidelined. I haven’t learned about a leash yet. We love to run and play, so when my foster mom says let’s go outside we run to the door. I’m doing pretty well with potty training if taken out often. I have learned to go in the pen outside so when I am put in there I know what my job is. I am also pretty good about using the puppy pads inside if I don’t get taken out when I need to go. I like snuggle time on the big bed on our special blanket for afternoon naps or before going to bed. I sleep 5-6 hours at night and keep my kennel clean. During the day we usually stay together in our puppy pen or get to run free in the kitchen. I love treats and tasty chew toys. If my foster mom didn’t want to keep saving other rescue puppies and dogs like me she would keep me forever! So I am looking for a home of my own where I will be loved just as much! If you love me and are patient with me as I continue to learn how to be a good girl I will love you forever!
