Meet Oreo – A Gentle Soul Ready for His Forever Home
Sometimes, the most beautiful transformations begin in quiet, unspoken ways.
Oreo was originally rescued as a tiny pup at just 8 weeks old. Life didn’t unfold quite the way it should have in his first home, but we’re not here to dwell on what went wrong. Instead, we’re grateful — because when his family realized they couldn’t meet his needs, they made the selfless choice to let him go. And that choice led him to the incredible foster home that’s helped him rediscover trust, safety, and joy.
Today, Oreo was assessed by professional trainer Nina Brochu, a certified behaviour specialist with over a decade of experience working with rescue dogs. Her words?
“This boy is amazing. With just a little patience, he can be anything.”
Within minutes of meeting him, she was able to enter his pen and gain his trust — a powerful reflection of the work his foster family has done, and the quiet readiness within Oreo to connect.
Oreo is a gentle, sensitive soul. When unsure, he doesn’t bark or lunge — he simply takes a step back and observes. With patience and kindness, he steps forward again. He’s formed a sweet friendship with his foster’s dog and would likely enjoy the companionship of another, though it’s not essential. He’s lived peacefully with cats, and the kids in his foster home — little dog trainers in the making — are helping him learn that young humans can be safe, calm, and full of love too.
What Oreo needs most is someone who will honor his pace. Someone who sees the beauty in going slow, and who’s ready to build something meaningful together. With love and understanding, this boy will flourish. He already is.
Let’s help him find the family he’s been waiting for — and the forever he truly deserves
