11/01/2016 WEB MEMO
A volunteer writes: Just like the real thing, Oreo brings joy to all those around him. 🙂 An exuberant, curious boy who loves to give kisses and be petted, Oreo seems to be housetrained and never stops wagging his tail. Given up by his owners because of personal problems (which had nothing to do with Oreo!), Oreo is already neutered, and he knows how to sit for treats. Oreo is quiet in his kennel in the care center and at 4 years old, he’s over his puppy years and ready to find his forever home! Please come and see Oreo today.
