Orso, a year old 12 pound puppy, came from southwest Missouri.  He lived in a home w/other animals who were loved but allowed to run loose and ended up at animal control.  He’s a confident little and a mix of terrier, dachshund and miniature pinscher???  He’s got a very soft red coat and a very sweet disposition.  He’s gets along well w/people, including kids and animals.  He’s well socialized.  He loves to play and to be held.  He’s neutered, has all shots . He’s learning basic commands and how to walk on a leash.  Toys are novel to him but he ‘s interested.  He’s smart, sleeps easily in a crate or puppy pen but also loves to sleep w/his human.  He can climb and needs a secure outdoor area.  He’ll make a terrific addition to any family
