Oona's Story

Name: Oona<br/> Age: 2 years old<br/> Sex: Spayed female<br/> Energy Level: High<br/><br/>About Oona:<br/> Oona is a deeply affectionate and cuddly dog who forms strong bonds with her people. She absolutely thrives in one-on-one time and shows a gentle, caring side with those she trusts. Oona loves attention and would happily spend her downtime snuggled up with her favorite human.<br/><br/>That said, Oona is a high-energy dog who needs plenty of daily exercise and mental stimulation. She does not enjoy being confined in a kennel, and without enough outlets for her energy, some behavioral challenges can surface.<br/><br/> Oona is currently reactive toward other dogs. While she has not had direct, face-to-face introductions, she shows strong reactions when seeing dogs through a fence. She can become highly focused, and there have been instances of redirected behavior when handlers attempt to intervene.<br/><br/>Because of this, Oona will need a dog-free home and an experienced owner who is comfortable working with reactivity and committed to ongoing training.<br/><br/>Important Note for Adopters:<br/> Anyone interested in Oona should spend time meeting her both in calm settings and in situations where other dogs are present (at a safe distance). This will help you fully understand her behavior, triggers, and the level of training and management she will need to succeed.<br/><br/>Oona has so much love to give and will thrive in the right home. One that can provide structure, patience, and the time she needs to channel her energy and build confidence.
