Plenty of Pets
Oreo is a one-year-old Labrador retriever mix with a lot of energy.
Oreo considers everyone a friend; people of all ages, cats, other dogs…
She loves going for walks and playing with other dogs. She does pull on the leash when she’s excited, and might run off if off-lead, so she needs some training.
A home with an active person or another playful dog would be best for Oreo. When she’s bored she’s tempted to dig holes. Once she’s had her exercise she enjoys snuggling with her people.
She’s house trained and well behaved in the home. When left alone she sleeps.
Oreo weighs 50 pounds and is spayed, vaccinated, treated for parasites, and microchipped. She comes with 30-days of free pet insurance courtesy of 24PetWatch. Her adoption fee is $400.
To learn more about adopting Oreo, visit Coastal K9 Rescue Society’s website or Facebook page or email [email protected]
