My story

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

Approximate Age: 3 years old
Approximate Weight: 19 lbs
Note: Best in a home with kids 11+ years.

Meet Piccolo!
Piccolo is a unique and lovable dog with a big personality. Here's what makes him special:
- Cuddle buddy: Loves to snuggle but will let you know when he's had enough.
- Leash skills: Walks well on a leash but has a strong prey drive-hold on tight if a squirrel crosses your path!
- Quirky sleeper: Prefers napping on the top of the couch like a cat.
- Crate trained: Feels comfortable and secure in his crate.
- Food sneaky: Watch your table and counters, this clever boy loves helping himself to snacks within reach.
- Protective instincts: Very territorial of his home and will react strongly to visitors, so he needs a vigilant owner who can help manage his environment.

Piccolo is looking for an experienced adopter who understands his quirks and can provide a loving, structured home where he can thrive.

What breed am I? Mixed mutt! ODHS does not breed label (unless there's official paperwork), as studies show it is nearly impossible to tell the exact breed of each dog based off of their appearance.

Adoption Donations are $275 for an adult, $375 for puppies (a dog under one year of age), and $175 for a senior dog (based on the age of the dog). More "sought out breeds may have a higher adoption donation) Adoption donations are to be made via cash, or credit/debit card. There is a $5 fee to run cards. We do not accept checks for adoption fees.


Please remember to bring a martingale collar and leash (non-retractable) with you the day of the adoption.
