Orion

Male · Adult · 8 years

Orion is a lively, expressive dog with a charming personality that he knows how to use to great effect! Clever and playful, he doesn't hesitate to put on a show to get his favorite treats, bringing joy to those around him. Very well-mannered and pleasant on a walk, he walks calmly on a leash and interacts with other animals of the same species without issue when they are calm. When he feels secure, he offers his belly for pets… a real moment of happiness! Orion has a past that has taught him to be wary of sudden approaches: it will be necessary to respect his limits and never surprise or touch his belongings. He seems able to live with cats, but not with children because he is not comfortable with being handled. Classified 2/4 on his behavioral assessment, he has already formed a strong bond with part of the shelter staff. Several visits to the shelter will be desirable to allow trust to develop gradually. Orion, a little sparkly clown with a big charm!

FR·Show original

Orion est un chien pétillant, expressif et doté d'un charme fou qu'il sait parfaitement utiliser ! Malin et joueur, il n'hésite pas à faire le clown pour obtenir ses friandises préférées, pour le plus grand bonheur de ceux qui l'entourent. Très propre et agréable en promenade, il marche calmement en laisse et croise ses congénères sans problème lorsque ceux-ci se montrent calmes. Quand il se sent en confiance, il offre son ventre pour des caresses… un vrai moment de bonheur ! Orion a un passé qui lui a appris à se méfier des approches surprises : il faudra respecter ses limites et ne jamais le surprendre ou toucher à ses affaires. Il semble pouvoir vivre avec des chats, mais pas avec des enfants car il n'est pas à l'aise avec les manipulations. Classé 2/4 à son évaluation comportementale, il a déjà créé un lien fort avec une partie de l'équipe. Plusieurs visites au refuge seront souhaitables pour que la confiance s'installe en douceur. Orion, un petit clown pétillant au grand charme !
