What my friends at OHS say about me:
I may be shy at first, but once we get to know each other I will shower you with love!
I will do anything to make you smile!
I know some basic cues, such as sit.
I really enjoy playing with toys! Tennis ball type of toys are my favorite!
I had so much fun meeting another dog here in the shelter. My friends at OHS think I would be great at making new dog friends!
I may do best with an owner who has had experience owning or caring for shy and fearful dogs.
