“Hi friends!! I’m Okra! I’m a pocket-sized itty bitty pittie who loves soft pets and cuddle sessions with my humans. I love giving hugs too, and I’ve been told I have the cutest little crooked-tail ever, which I always make sure to wag extra hard when my friends say hello!

Before the shelter, my life was not too good… my old family kept me in a crate outside and I had no food or water. I also could barely stand up in there, and there was no room to go to the bathroom… Now that I’m at the shelter, I’ve made so many volunteer friends. I love getting out for walks and playtime, and my friends have given me so much love. I’ve learned some new tricks like “sit” which I’m really good at! And I also learned how to walk nicely on leash. Aside from my volunteer friends, I am not a big fan of the shelter though, and I still hope one day a new family will take me home and let me sleep inside. I hope my new family will give me treats and love like my shelter friends do.

I’ve been lucky enough to go on an extended overnight with one of my volunteer besties! We’ve had so much fun playing together and going for neighborhood walks. In a home, I am super house trained and quiet, and I love playing with toys and doing puzzle games to find all the treatos. I also love watching my humans cook and do the dishes too! They are fascinating creatures. Because my life has been pretty tough, and I really struggle in the shelter, I prefer to be the only pet in a home for now. I’m still learning how to be a family dog, since no one ever let me in the house before. But trust me, I have so much love to give, you won’t be missing out with me as your one and only!!

Please reach out to my volunteer friends at orangedotcrew@gmail.com if you want to learn more about me! I am a top priority for finding a home, and I promise to be the goodest boy if you give me a chance to be a part of your family.”
