Oreo

​We have sad news to share today…  Another one of our alumni, 2022 Alum Oreo, has passed away.

Oreo’s original owner had a bad fall and was tragically not able to keep him.  However, we found an amazing foster home that fell in love with him so quickly and adopted him immediately.  So, Oreo went from a sad farewell to a very happy life with his foster/forever family.

His mom Marci said, “The first thought I had upon seeing Oreo jump down from the back of the transporter's SUV, was "what a big dog with such big feet", and that continued for the next three years to be a joke around our home.  With 8 GSPs before him, I still got a little intimidated by his size.  However, in the next three years, Oreo's feet didn't get any smaller, but my heart grew larger for this big goofy dog.  What a great dog he was, what a great life we had together. He loved his two daily walks around the neighborhood, seeing his doggie friends and barking at the Amazon trucks...only the Amazon trucks!  But there comes a time, when you know.  In the last few weeks, Oreo had trouble getting up, so we lifted him up with a harness and he was raring to go.  A very tough guy, Oreo didn't cry or whine, but he stopped eating, and we knew he was in pain, so we had to say goodbye.  RIP Oreo.”

Oreo will be treasured in his family’s hearts forever.
