O’Malley is believed to be closer to 6 months old and is a Pointer mix.

O’Malley had a very hard life before coming to Needy Paws. He was a bit shy and very underweight. After he put on weight he was neutered and micro chipped. Now he’s loving life like no other.

He is a very happy boy, loves everyone and everything. He excitedly jumps for joy when he sees you. We are working very hard on the jumping. And he likes to hold onto you because he doesn’t ever want to lose you. We are also working on that. He likes to hold your hand, shirt or pants leg.

He is potty trained and will use a potty pad if needed. He is kennel trained but doesn’t like to be in it if no one is around. He will shred anything in it, if left alone for long. So, he would do better in a home were someone is home with him. Since he likes to jump, he’d be better in a home with teenagers rather than little kids.

He is cat friendly but will chase if they run. He’s dog friendly. He doesn’t like car rides. They make him nervous and he needs a belly band on for rides.  He sleeps in bed with his foster mom and 3 foster siblings and one cat. He walks well on a leash. He knows sit and is learning hand signal to sit and calm down. 

O’Malley will be a great dog for someone who will keep working with him on his obedience.
