Bio:

Oreo is a 4-year old Newfydoodle (Landseer Newfoundland + Standard Poodle) and weighs 110 pounds. He was gifted to Dr. Moe as a puppy by the Russell family in Mattawan, Michigan, in order to provide comfort and support as a therapy dog. While his training was impacted by the pandemic, he was successfully certified through the Alliance of Therapy Dogs in October of 2020. He also holds Canine Good Citizen, Canine Good Citizen-Advanced, and Therapy Dog Advanced titles through the American Kennel Club, and is a nationally certified crisis response dog through HOPE Animal Assisted Crisis Response [AACR]. Oreo is low shedding and considered hypoallergenic.
