Meet Ori 🐾
Ori is a 3-year-old German Shepherd x Irish Wolfhound mix who truly lives up to the phrase gentle giant. This big, handsome boy has a soft heart to match his size-he’s friendly, affectionate, and loves spending time with his people. Ori is the kind of dog who will happily lean into you for pets and remind you every day how sweet he really is.
Because of his size, Ori will need a confident and fairly strong handler who can comfortably guide him, especially on walks. He can be quite reactive to other dogs while on leash, which may make outings a bit challenging at times. He may enjoy off-leash play with the right canine companions, but this hasn’t been fully tested yet, so slow and thoughtful introductions will be important.
Ori also experiences some separation anxiety, so he’ll do best in a home where someone is around more often or is committed to helping him build confidence when left alone. With patience, consistency, and a solid routine, Ori has great potential to thrive and feel more secure.
If you’re looking for a loyal, loving companion and have the ability to support a big dog with some extra needs, Ori could be your perfect match. He’s ready to give his whole heart to someone who will do the same for him ❤️
