Animal Shelter Report: Outgoing Oreo is the Pet of the Week

Published 8:16 am Monday, September 5, 2022

This friendly and handsome black and white guy is a two-year-old border collie mix. He came to us as a stray in July.

Border collies are known for their intelligence and athletic behavior. True to border collie form, Oreo loves attention and does not want to sit on the sidelines. He wants to be involved with everything and anything. He loves playing in the hose or a kiddie pool, and would most likely be all up for a trip to the beach!

He loves being outside and to go for walks, the longer the better. Oreo knows sit, wait, lay down, and shake. He is eager to please and will learn new tricks and commands easily. Oreo would be great with an active family or single person, and a fenced yard would be great! Oreo is fully vetted and ready to go to his new home. As Pet of the Week, his adoption fee has been halved to just $75, which is a great price for this young dog. If you are interested in Oreo or any of the available shelter pets, visit our website beachpets.com and follow the instructions under adopt.
