Orion is eager to explore the universe with you! This handsome dog loves three things the most in life: playtime, cheese and his friends!

Here at the Adoption Center in New York City, Orion has been busy charming people and other dogs with his friendly nature. He has made many friends in his time with us! The best way to get to know him is with tasty treats (like cheese!) and some cheerful babytalk. Once you become friends with Orion, he’ll become your adorable shadow, pushing up against you for affection.

When it’s time to burn some energy, Orion happily keeps himself occupied with plush toys, especially the ones that make crinkle noises. He also enjoys his leisurely walks around the neighborhood. He has great leash manners and loves to sniff out the best smells, but you can always get his attention with a treat.

Adopting Orion will mean gaining a new loyal companion and friend, as well as getting some exercise with him. Every day is a little brighter with this playful guy by your side! If you’d like to learn more about adopting this special pup, visit Orion’s profile!
