Orville

Orville is a 10 year old male, weighs 14 pounds.

A little nervous at first, but a sweet and happy old man once given a minute to settle in.

Good with other dogs.

Orville:

 

It may not look like it from my photos, but I am super high energy for a senior! When meeting new people, I am hesitant at first, but I warm up quickly, and then the tail is in full wag mode.

Here are a few of my favorite things: long walks; playing with toys and balls; running around with my dog friends; burrowing into soft things; treats! I’m a sucker for a rubdown and have tickle spots behind my left ear and right back leg. Naps with my favorite people are the best! I like to settle into bed (no crate, please) at my own speed, and whenever a door opens, I try to go exploring.

Want a quiet dog? I’m your guy. I’m deaf, so I never bark. Of course that also means I won’t come when called, and I might jump if you touch me when I didn’t see you coming. I get pretty good marks in the house training category, although I mark my territory when others dogs are around. My foster mom is working with me on that. As far as car rides are concerned, I do like to get out and about, but I’m most content if I can see the world from the comfort and safety of a passenger lap.
