Ona LOVES her people. Pets? Yes please. Cuddles? Absolutely. Walks? Let’s go! Retrieving? Even better! <br/><br/>She also has a pretty adorable little quirk—Ona can get a bit barky when she sees strangers from a distance, dogs on the other side of the privacy fence and those pesky neighbors walking by your house. She is redirected easily and in the house or yard. She will quiet down, but does need a couple of "quiet" commands. When out in public, she will redirect if you give her something else to do (look- eye contact-, sit, or down) but once they get closer, she warms up quickly and is ready to make friends. She just likes to make sure everyone knows she has noticed them! <br/><br/>She does have training as well and will sit and down (she has a super funny way to get into the down position! She sometimes does a spin and then flops into the down (this happens mainly when the ball is being used as her reward because she is so excited) She also has recall that she was taught. It is Oneeeeeeda (long e sound). She also responds great to just her name, but the Oneeeeeeda is like using a full name to a child!<br/><br/>And if you get Ona really happy, you might even get to see her famous smile. Yes, she has a goofy little expression that looks suspiciously like she’s grinning at you.<br/>Ona is ready to find her forever people.

For 3 days after adoption/transition, the dog may wonder who you are, what the routine is, who the other dogs are. After about 3 weeks, the dog has typically acclimated to your schedule & knows her role in the house. After about 3 months, the dog has revealed their temperament & personality & settled in.<br/><br/>ADOPTION PROCESS DETAILS:<br/>*Please read ALL the information in Ona’s listing before applying to ensure you understand what she needs to be successful in her new home.<br/><br/>*If you would like to be considered as a potential adopter for Ona, please complete our adoption application at http://www.idogrescue.com/adoption_application (copy/paste URL into your browser).

Our expenses are high these days due to increased vetting expenses, board & train costs, medical/health issues & surgery that is needed for some of our dogs. IDOG relies heavily on donations to bridge the gap between our adoption fees & our expenses. Unfortunately, donations are down across the board for all rescues.<br/><br/>TO APPLY FOR ONA-OHIO, PLEASE COMPLETE THE APPLICATION ON OUR WEBSITE: http://www.idogrescue.com/adoption_application
