Meet Orion! 🐾

Three legs, a goofy personality, and a heart worth earning. 

Orion is a handsome 3–4-year-old, 49-pound Pit-Pei with three legs, an adorable little hop, and a whole lot of love to give once you’ve earned his trust.

After being rescued by Forgotten, Now Family, Orion received much-needed medicalcare, including the amputation of his back left leg and surgery for cherry eyein both eyes. Today, he’s healthy, happy, and living his best foster life!

Once Orion feels safe with you, his personality really shines! He’s goofy, affectionate, playful, and a HUGE fan of toys. Squeaky toys, fetch, and tug-of-war are among his favorite things. He also loves walks, bully sticks, and his beloved frozen pumpkin pupsicle with a slab of peanut butter. 

Orion is a creature of habit who thrives on structure and routine. He’s cratetrained, sleeps soundly through the night, and knows exactly when it’s time formeals, playtime, and bed. He’ll even remind you if you’re running late! One ofhis cutest habits is patiently waiting for his release command each morningbefore greeting his people with the happiest little hops.

Anddon’t let those three legs fool you! Orion navigates stairs, jumps on and offthe couch, and enjoys an active life. He just needs an occasional boost intothe car or onto a tall bed.

Now, here’s what makes finding Orion’s perfect match so important.

Orionwants to connect with people, but new faces and unfamiliar situations can makehim unsure. Building his trust takes time, patience, and consistency. He has ahistory of defensive biting when handled in ways that made him uncomfortable,so he needs an experienced, confident adopter who understands canine bodylanguage, respects boundaries, and is comfortable using a muzzle for safeintroductions.

Oriondoes best with predictable routines and someone who will advocate for himrather than rush him.

He’s done wonderfully living with another dog and may enjoy a confident, compatible canine companion with proper introductions. An adult-only home without cats or small dogs is recommended.

Thebest part? You won’t be figuring it all out alone. His foster family is happy to help hisfuture adopter understand his routines, build trust, and make the transition assmooth as possible.

Orionisn’t looking for just anyone. He’s looking for someone willing to take thetime to truly know him.

And when you earn his trust, you’ll discover a silly, loving, loyal companion who’s absolutely worth the wait.
