Meet Oreo
Meet Oreo, a sweet little Jack Russell who is looking for a calm, gentle home where he can build confidence at his own pace. Oreo can be nervous with new experiences & handling, but with patient people who respect his boundaries, we think his affectionate little personality will continue to shine through.
Oreo would love a family who enjoys gentle walks, sniffing adventures, enrichment & positive reward-based training. He may also enjoy living with a calm, confident small-breed dog pending a successful meet, as polite doggy friends can help him feel more secure.
Oreo is looking for a predictable home with older teens 16+, ideally with people home most of the time. He needs patient humans who will advocate for him, give him choices & let him come to them for affection rather than overwhelming him with handling.
With kindness, patience & plenty of positive experiences, Oreo has lots of potential to blossom into a loving little companion.
How our Adoption Process Works
Step 1) Preparation
Read our Adoption Philosophy and make sure your views on dog ownership align with ours. Please read this entire page to make sure you are ready for adoption day.
Step 2) APPLY
Browse available dogs online, review our dog sociability matrix and then complete an adoption questionnaire.
Step 3) ADOPTION
7 DAYS A WEEK: Walk ins welcome for adoption interviews between 11am-3pm! Our gates remain open until 4pm, but we conclude our adoption interviews at 3pm so we have time to take the dogs out, feed them and get them ready for bedtime.
During quieter periods, we will also do our best to review online applications, but unfortunately cannot get back to every applicant, especially for more ‘popular’ dogs. If you agree with our adoption philosophies and are ready to adopt- please do not wait for us to contact you after submitting a questionnaire.
PUPPIES & DOGS IN FOSTER CARE: If you are particularly interested in a young puppy or a dog that is currently in foster care, please indicate this on your questionnaire. Young puppies will not be on site here at the Refuge as it is much more beneficial for them to remain in foster care until their adoption. For dogs and puppies that are not on site, we will review online applications and get in touch with suitable homes to arrange a meet and greet.
