Orville-Kitchener

My story

Orville is a sweet boy with a big personality and an even bigger heart waiting patiently for his forever home. This boy may take a little time to warm up, but once he feels comfortable, he’s all about his people. He loves being close to his humans and of course getting all the scratches and belly rubs. This wiggly, playful boy has such a delightfully silly side and if you adopt Orville, expect ample goofy antics and basically non stop moments that will make you smile. With patience and kindness from his new family, Orville will reward his family with endless affection and personality.Come by the shelter and meet Orville today!IN-SHELTER NOTES & IDEAL HOMESIZE:68 lbs.HOME TYPE:House or Townhouse- No large and busy apartments with lots of shared spaces due to nervousness.
