My story

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

Hello, my name is Oreo, and I'm a youngster full of life! I recently went on an adventure to the Beltline, and it was a blast.

I love people-though I'm not a fan of small children-so I would thrive with someone who is home most of the time. I'm very social and curious, always needing to know where my humans are - I definitely want to be able to sleep in your room at night! Whether it's waiting outside your shower door, lying beside you, or walking at your side, I'm always close by. Eating and getting attention are my top favorites, and I love basking in the sun whenever I get the chance.

During my Beltline outing, I was full of energy, and my leash was a bit tense as I eagerly explored. I met some new people and couldn't wait to approach them for a bit of petting-my tail was wagging non-stop.

On another outing, I walked through the Battery before a Braves game and did great - the crowds did not bother me! I would be a great companion to someone who likes to be active and go on adventures. I'm easy to handle, listen well and very smart. I learn extremely fast, so I would really thrive with someone who enjoys training and growing my skills.

One thing to note is that I don't like motorcycles, skateboards, and rollerblades, so I'd do great in a quiet suburb somewhere!

I'm not a fan of small dogs or cats, so it's best if I don't live with them. On another visit, I enjoyed being around other dogs, so it might just be good to make sure I'm a match with new siblings! I might be a bit too enthusiastic around small children. I promise to be the life of every party (or day!) in your life.

I am a smart boy who already knows sit, shake and lay down - plus I'm working on roll over. I love treats, so I bet I can be coerced to learn even more tricks. I really enjoy food puzzles. I'm pretty excited when I first meet new people, but I settle quite nicely. I have the perfect combination of puppy zing with a side of maturity. I've been told I'm a really good boy. I can't wait to find my forever home and share all my love and energy with you!
