Meet Oreo, a 6-year-old, mostly black shepherd mix weighing 61 pounds. He came to the SPCA of Texas on July 7 through a compliance rescue case, scared and in terrible shape. He has blue and brown eyes and tiny flecks of grey and white on his face, giving him a cookies and cream coloring. While his skin issues have been treated, he is still missing fur and so is naked in a lot of places, but he’s working on growing his hair back. He can be a bit barky at the shelter, but it is just his way of asking for attention. And he can be a little shy when it comes to handling, but he warms up quickly. He loves other dogs, so he would make a lovely companion for dogs and humans alike for someone that is willing to offer him time and patience. Oreo has been neutered, microchipped and is current on all age-appropriate vaccinations. He is heartworm positive, but thanks to generous donors, his treatments will be free at any Metroplex-area VCA Animal Hospital. #155730
