My personality

My story

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

Oreo is a sweet young girl who enjoys meeting people--let us show you that she will be the envy of the neighborhood! She is a delight to take for walks as she is great on leash, has an awesome recall, knows sit, down, stay and "load up". As you can see from her photos, Oreo loves car rides. She is exceedingly polite, especially in the drive thru (hello Saturday morning pup cups)! As a lab mix Oreo enjoys playing in the water--we can picture her happily on beach trips to Tahoe or out at Pyramid Lake. While this is the kind of girl that will be your shadow while doing yard work or house chores, her favorite game is tug and knows the house rules (get it, drop it, enough). She REALLY enjoys massage where she falls to the floor and becomes putty in your hands. Oreo is already house trained and quietly enjoys dinner time laying at your feet. Her bedtime routine includes enjoying a dental chew in her crate (taking good care of those pearly whites) and then falling asleep to music.

*a delight to take for walks
*great with strangers
*loves car rides
*spayed
*up to date on shots
*house trained
*free orientation sessions with Barkside Dogs!

Black dogs wait 4 times longer for homes than light colored dogs--please consider giving this girl a chance to show you how wonderful she is.

As a bonus, Oreo comes with free in home and out-about-town sessions with Barkside Dogs! Reno has plenty of dog friendly spots-let us introduce you to them.

Our Adoption Process
1. Begins with a simple online application to help us understand your needs and what you would like in your furry friend.
2. We move forward with a meet and greet! Personal chemistry is important and both the adopter and pup need to be lovin’ it.
3. We deliver your new family member to your home where you sign the adoption contract.
*All of our dogs come with a free Tractive and are supported for life.*

More about this rescue

The Dog House Rescue is the pet project of two dog lovers that wandered into a municipal animal shelter to pick up one new family member and left with seven. Like much of the public, we had mistakenly believed that most shelters are able to provide a no-kill haven for homeless animals. Due to overcrowding, the euthanasia rate at that facility alone is 80%. With the average dog having less than one week to find an adopter, it is easy to find great dogs who were simply born in an unfortunate geographic area.

We exist to help bridge the gap between loving homes seeking good citizen companions and good natured dogs looking for an opportunity to show their stuff. Those that have found themselves in a shelter (through no fault of their own) and would otherwise be euthanized for space are given medical treatment, spayed/neutered, and trained so that they may continue to be good citizens in their forever families.

All residents at The Dog House are considered family for life. We understand that personal tragedies happen. If a Dog House member is ever unable to continue in their adopted home, they are welcomed back with open arms. Having already survived the shelter once, our promise to them is to never be homeless again.
