My name is Oreo!

Introducing Oreo, the 25lb Spring Spaniel mix with short legs, ready to pounce into your heart. In the scorching heat and humidity of Mississippi, a rescuer saved eight adorable puppies from a cramped 10x10 pen. When they were finally freed, they burst with joy, running wild and eager to explore the world. These sweet pups were set to be euthanized, but now they have a second chance at life.

Oreo's foster says she's great around other dogs, loves to run outside and has been warming up to new people easier as time goes on. The more you get to know her, the less shy she is and her funny personality comes out.

If you’re ready to welcome Oreo into your home, please apply at https://peace4paws.org/adoption-application to adopt.
