**Orson will be available for adoption over the March 23-25th weekend at Rosedale Mills, located in Pennington, NJ.

Orson and his 7 siblings were born on Christmas day, 2017. His former owner said the pregnancy of their female dog was an "accident", which typically does occur when a dog's owner fails to have them spay. When we were first notified that the owners wanted to surrender them, we were given a specific time frame to get the pups or the owner was "going to take them off somewhere". We quickly made room for all 8 of the pups to keep them from becoming discarded.

Orson and his litter mates are all well socialized towards people. Orson loves to romp and play with his siblings and also loves his interaction with people. While he is an energetic little pup, he turns to mush when being held in your arms.

We did have the opportunity to meet Orson's mom, an Aussie mix of medium size, but have no idea what breed the father was. We are assuming that Orson will grow to be about 35lbs and close to the size of his mother.

As of March 1, Orson has received 2/3 of his first year puppy vaccinations, started on his monthly flea/tick and heart worm preventatives, been wormed, treated against parasites and will receive his rabies vaccination after he reaches 12 weeks. His adopter must agree to having him neutered once he reaches 6 months of age and providing proof of such to us..
