Boxer, Great Dane [Mix]

Dogs come….dogs go…I wonder when will it be my turn? I’m trying to be patient as the nice ladies who take care of me here tell me my day will come, my new family just hasn’t found me yet…but when? The other dogs all look so excited and happy to leave with their new families. I want a family too! I’ve been here longer than any of the other dogs…my name in Onrey. I’m a 5 1/2 year old Boxer/Dane mix. Poor Onrey - this sweet boy has been with us for 2 years now. He had to have surgery and his front left leg had to be removed. He had come to us with buckshot in his leg and after a year of different med's, this was deemed his only option left at a pain-free life. Onrey may be "marked" special needs, but he doesn't know that! He will now run around the building outside when taken for walks - that's something he wasn't able to do before - he was in too much pain. He is really enjoying the nice weather - he loves to go outside and lay in the grass and have you rub his belly! He walks well on leash, takes treats nicely, and knows how to sit. Onrey's perfect home would be one with no other animals as he would like to be your one and only. UPDATE!! CHRISTMAS COMES EARLY FOR ONREY! On October 22, Onrey was finally adopted!! After 2 1/2 years of calling the shelter "home", Onrey finally really does have a home...and an owner to call his own! After being spoiled rotten on his last day at the shelter (which consisted of a plain hamburger from Burger King, a squeaky toy that he was allowed to pick out himself, and enough treats to last a week to take with him, Onrey was all set to jump into his new owner's car for the long ride back to Minnesota. Of course, when Onrey noticed the nice big fluffly bed in the backseat of the car, he did just that!
