Orla

ADOPTED

A HUGE thank you to Orla's foster family - they have been fantastic for this sweet girl and keeping us updated on her progress! If you have any questions or comments please chime in, we would love to promote this sweet gal and find her the loving home she deserves. 

(12/30/15) Orla has settled in and we have watched her become a confident, sweet girl! She takes direction well, and is learning from her foster siblings. I am amazed at how much this girl has changed in the last few weeks. She is truly a sweetheart, just thrives on love! She loves to run and play, so she will need someone to get her energy out by walking, running or just getting her out to play! She has a fantastic nose, and keen sense for finding any tennis balls in the house or the yard.


Pupdate (12/15/15): Orla has been in her foster home for about 2 weeks now and she is adjusting so well! She is now used to her foster siblings and they all love to lay on the floor together. She is crate trained, but she has recently learned when to "kennel" and wait patiently for her treat inside. She absolutely loves to be loved. She will snuggle with you on the couch, sit in your lap or wait patiently by your feet for kisses and ear rubs. Orla is a very active dog, she loves to run and chase rabbits. She is currently living on 2 acres. She has befriended the dogs in the neighboring yard and watches the cows and sheep as they pass along the other side of the fence without a bark. She has been around children, but she will be best suited in a home without small children. She loves to chew on nyla bones and chase a tennis ball. Orla is very smart and will make a wonderful companion.


Orla recently joined her foster family and is adjusting well, so check back for more updates as we get to know her a little better!

The scoop so far is that Orla is currently living with two older labs and she is learning her place in the pack (Orla tends to be a little bossy on first meetings with other pups). She loves walks and a good game of fetch - but who doesn't!? She does need direction, but is responsive, very smart and wants to learn.

Although she is about 4, she is VERY puppylike - she will need an adopter who wants to be outside with her and is willing to put in some work with training. Her foster mom reports that Orla would be an excellent candidate for a hunting dog, she has a good soft mouth and loves to retrieve just about anything- tennis balls and squeaky toys have been her favorite so far!

Like we mentioned, Orla is working on her manners. She has a wonderful sit, and stay and she loves the one on one attention associated with training. She will sit like a statue so that you will rub her ears and just give her love. Her leash skills are improving, and she thoroughly enjoys taking walks .

Miss Orla is looking for a patient home, someone who is willing to train her to be less protective of her people- Orla has a mama dog mentality for her people, particularly younger kiddos, and can be quite protective of them.

Orla is a gorgeous girl (look at that face!) and deserves a second chance with a wonderful family she can call her own! This girl is four years young, UTD on shots, spayed, and heartworm negative! Get your application in and come meet this girl - who can resist those big brown eyes!?
