My story

　　Orion (Ryan for short) is an Irish Doodle (Irish Setter and Poodle). He was surrendered from a commercial breeder at just 3 months old because he was too old to sell. While he is currently small in stature, he will be a large dog in adulthood, if the size of his happy-go-lucky paws are any indicator.

　　Orion is an energetic, curious, and confident puppy who enjoys playing outside and running around. He likes playing with the other dogs in his foster home and would do well with another mentor dog to show him the ropes, but he also enjoys hanging out with his people, chewing on a bone, or playing with a toy. He is developing a wicked game of fetch that brings out the sport dog in his genes and he is quite fond of playing soccer with any ball he can find. Because Ryan is in his puppy phase, he is learning what is and what is not dog appropriate to chew. He is easily redirected to appropriate toys. Ryan is crate-trained, and learning a solid potty routine. He is doing great with his potty training, but regression is common when changing environments. Because of his breed he will need regular grooming and a family willing to brush him daily.

　　Ryan is UTD on vaccines, rabies and preventatives. He is also microchipped. Due to his young age he is not currently altered and will be adopted out on a neuter contract. The neuter contract does require an additional $250 deposit that is fully refundable once he is altered per the contract.
