Oreo's Story

Oreo is one of those dogs. She’s a 3.5-year-old Beagle/Boxer mix who came to Warrick from Union County Animal Control after being surrendered with her sister, Little Dixie. Dixie has already been adopted so now it's Oreo's turn to find a family.

How Does the Staff Describe Oreo?

The staff describes Oreo as “perfect.” She’s sweet, loving, and friendly. She's great with both people and other dogs, and never meets a stranger. She's also wonderful with kids. Oreo has medium energy, so she’s just as happy helping you hit your daily step goal. She is also happy being a couch potato.

She's just... happy.
