Oreo, border collie mix
Oreo is a male border collie puppy being cared for at Heading Home K9 Rescue.
Oreo is vaccinated.
Here's what Oreo's friends at Heading Home K9 Rescue think of him:
This boy is all kinds of fun. He is very smart, and is quite eager to learn. He loves to run and play with his siblings, and he loves to cuddle. He is a total sweetheart. We are unsure of Oreo's breed. He and his siblings all look different. What we do know is that they will be large breed dogs. There is likely some Border Collie somewhere in there, but other than that, your guess is as good as ours.

Irish, pit bull terrier and American Staffordshire terrier mix
Irish is a male pit bull terrier and American Staffordshire terrier puppy staying at Save-A-Bull.
Irish loves kids, dogs or cats. Irish is vaccinated. Irish is a special needs pet, so please inquire about his specific care requirements.
Notes from Irish's caretakers:
You probably noticed that Irish is a special needs pup. He was born with serious scoliosis and spinal fluid leaking from his spine. This caused a spinal cyst that compressed his spinal cord. He had surgery to remove the cyst and the pressure on his spine, but nerve damage was already done. In spite of that, his prognosis for a happy life is good. He has a real lust for life and shows his excitement every chance he gets. He has a wheelchair that he uses outside and while out and about in the community. Going for walks and meeting new friends is always exciting!
