History: Oriana is a super beautiful girl who was recently welcomed to rescue and will warm your heart. She is working on her trust and confidence and is hoping to find a patient family of her very own soon!
A Note from the Foster: Meet Oriana, a sweet 5‑year‑old, 15 lb Lhasa Apso who has been slowly but surely blossoming in her foster home and learning what it means to be a cherished companion for the first time. She came to rescue a bit shy and unsure of the world, but every day she shows more confidence and curiosity. Her soft spirit and quiet charm make her an easy dog to fall in love with.
She isn’t an overly affectionate dog yet, but she is gentle, tolerant, and steadily warming up. She allows handling, accepts pets, and is content to spend the day relaxing and observing the world. With patience and kindness, she’s showing that she wants to connect — she’s just figuring out how.
She’s the kind of dog who will form a deep, meaningful bond once she feels safe. Watching her come out of her shell is incredibly rewarding. Every tail wag, every step forward, every moment of trust feels like a gift. In her foster home she ignores the resident dogs, making her a great fit for homes with other respectful pets. Potty training is going well, she’s learning the routine and making great progress.
She may not be the dog who runs into your arms on day one — but she will be the dog who chooses you wholeheartedly once she knows she’s home.
Adoption Fee: $560 + tax
Adoption Status: Is this dog available? Submitting an application is the best first step to learning if a dog is still available. There is a chance this dog could have a pending adoption when your application is submitted, however our team will offer approved applicants to be put on a waiting list for that dog. Additionally, we can make recommendations on other dogs that may be a match. Pending adoptions do not mean the adoption is finalized. Why did we implement this change? We implemented this update because, unfortunately, dogs were pending for applicants for several weeks and then the applicant would change their mind. This happens more often with puppies, as applications are submitted impulsivly more often for them. Our process is great because it takes a little time, so impulsive decisions fade. However it was unfortunate for the dogs, and the foster homes, as then the process needed to be re-started. By securing a wait-list we are able to move forward more quickly if a pending adoption falls through. This is a new process for us, so your feedback along the way is helpful! Thank you for supporting rescue and adoption!
