Oreo Little Big Guy has a foster family full of Great Danes, Dobermans, and big bully breeds, and he fits right in like someone just ordered him in the wrong size. This little gentleman is comfortable, confident, and happy. His favorite place in that very big world, though, is someone’s lap. According to his foster, he can settle in for hours, so get comfortable before inviting him up. Go watch Oreo on YouTube for a little face time with this sweet boy, then come right back to read about your potential new lap-loving companion: Oreo makes meeting new people feel easy. He’s friendly, affectionate, and comfortable being picked up and handled, which is convenient for a dog whose preferred seating comes with a person attached. The day we met him he happily accepted everyones attention, tried a few laps on for size and even rolled onto his back for a belly rub. He has a lovely way of making himself at home with people, without much fuss or fanfare. His social confidence carries right over to other dogs. Oreo lives with dogs who tower over him and moves among them with the casual comfort of someone who knows he belongs. He was equally relaxed meeting small dogs, making him a lovely possibility for a home with canine company of just about any size. He enjoys sharing space and taking a good sniff around- he has no interest in turning the afternoon into a wrestling match. He brought that same polite attitude to meeting our house cat. Oreo gave him a sniff, decided that was plenty of introduction, and went about his business. They spent time freely sharing the house without any issues. A home with a calm, dog-savvy cat could be a wonderful fit for him. Oreo is also a great car rider, ready to come along for the outing and enjoy your company along the way. With his easygoing nature and comfort meeting new friends, he could suit a variety of homes, including an apartment. Give him time with his people, opportunities to explore, and a cozy place on your lap, and you’re speaking his language. Oreo is estimated to be 1 year old and we strongly suspect this little guy is a Shih Tzu, although, as with any rescue, his breed and are are simply our best guess. He certainly brings the companion-dog charm- a sweet face, a friendly disposition, and a willingness to spend a very generous portion of the day keeping your lap occupied. Oreo is ready to be someone’s everyday bestie, the little face beside you on the couch, the happy passenger on your errands, and the cherry on top when its time to relax on the couch at the end of the day!
