Story: Orianna was rescued from a shelter in North Carolina and we are so happy to have her in a foster home in the DC area now. Orianna is a super sweetie that loves all people and gets along great with other dogs and puppies. She knows just how to get comfortable up on the couch with her humans, and will love to join you on walks and trots around the neighborhood. Orianna is just looking for someone to be her new best furend and we know that she will repay them with endless amounts of love and tail wags. Even though Orianna is an adult dog, she will need an adopter who is committed to setting her up for success by enrolling in obedience training and exercising her both mentally and physically. She will also need love, patience, and socialization in order to thrive!
What my foster says: Ori has been in foster for a little over two months and in that time she has evolved into an incredibly silly, sweet, chill, and cuddly little girl. She would be an amazing dog for just about anyone but the more people...the better!!! She is great in the home, on leash, in the crate, in the car, in new places, when friends come over...she just wants to be with people and be loved. She is a medium-energy dog so she would be perfect for someone who works from home and just wants a buddy to quietly nap nearby. She'll go on runs with you if you want but it will take her 15 minutes to run a mile. But she'll do it if it means spending time with you! She has been easy to bathe, to clip her nails, to dress her up in various outfits, to do some obedience training with (she LOVES food)...she is a go-with-the-flow kinda gal.
She has met and done well with screaming, rolling, and pulling-on-tail kids since all she really wants is to be petted and adored - doesn't matter by who! She is an incredibly sweet and friendly girl who deserves to be so spoiled to make up for whatever she went through early on in her life (which impacts her 0%). She has the silliest personality and makes us laugh all the time. She is very truly a really wonderful and easy dog. Anyone would be so lucky to have her!
The fee to adopt Orianna is $450. That covers the cost of all her vaccines, the collar she’s wearing, her transport to DC and her care in her foster home. She’s up to date on all age appropriate vaccines, and already spayed. Orianna has been seen by a shelter vet and is being treated for Heartworm. Heartworm is a very treatable illness that is common in many shelter dogs coming from the South. For more information on heartworm, visit our blog.
