Meet Oreo! A spirited eleven-year-old Terrier mix currently in Madison Heights, MI, whose affectionate personality shines through his black-and-white coat and puppy-like enthusiasm for life. At about 30 pounds, Oreo is a medium-sized boy with a love for companionship. He enjoys exploring, being petted, curling up close, and giving kisses to people he trusts! Though he is a senior, nobody seems to have told Oreo. He still approaches his days with playful energy and enjoys both yard time and walks. He is house-trained, neutered, vaccinated, knows “sit,” comes when called, and is a smart fellow who could benefit from positive reinforcement as he works on leash skills. Oreo has a strong prey drive and loves to chase squirrels and other small animals, so he needs a securely fenced yard where he can safely explore and enjoy his outdoor time. A home without cats is important, as he will chase them. When it comes to dogs, Oreo can be selective and may bark at them while out on walks, but he previously lived peacefully alongside a Shih-Tzu for two years. While the two were more content roommates than close buddies, their easy coexistence shows that Oreo may be compatible with a calm dog…

In the rescue's own words, as they published it.
