Meet Orion

Arriving 2/22/20

Orion is a stunning dog! He is still puppyish and is a big goofball. He was found running down the road late at night and when the finder called out to him he jumped right in his car.

I keep pet laundry in a pile in the corner of the hall he comes through to go to the yard. He bounces over there and always grabs something, tossing it around and trying to run outside with it. He enjoys playing fetch (fetch being a loose term - more like chase the ball but get easily distracted and grab up another toy in the yard). He could play tug of war all day long, except I always lose.

Orion needs to be able to get his energy out, as many large breed pups need to. He could use some obedience training, including not pouncing on people to play. As part of training, he needs to learn to control his exuberance so he does not scare or upset the other dogs he’s just so excited to play! This is true with kids as well he likes them but easily knocks them over in excitement. He is very dog friendly, as can be seen in the videos, he actually toned it down for a smaller dog.

Orion is a playful, friendly boy. He is a lot of fun and will be well suited to an active owner. He is a super happy guy and with some basic discipline, will make someone very happy too.

Adoption fees are non-negotiable and can be paid by cashier's check, money order or credit card. We do not accept personal checks.

Post Adoption: Any issues that arise after adoption are the full responsibility of the adopter after the finalization of adoption. We highly recommend Pet Insurance. Adoption fees are only part of the expense of owning a pet, so we ask you to consider the costs for the life of the pet before adoption. We recommend pet insurance.

Pet Breeds: The pet you are viewing is a rescued pet which is most often from an animal control facility or Shelter partner. The breed(s) listed are our best guess and are in no way guaranteed.

If you choose to DNA test your adopted pet, test results may vary from company to company and our breed guess may not be reflected in those results as it is just that, our best guess without knowing a pet’s full history.
