Dog of the Week: Oma!

Please put your paws together for Oma, our Dog of the Week!

 

Oma (meaning Grandma) came to Hopeful Hearts from a shelter in Ohio, so this will be her first winter in Canada. Despite the fact that most of us put on a few pounds to prepare for the loooong cold winter months, Oma has actually lost weight. You see, she arrived quite overweight due to lack of exercise but since living with her foster mom (AKA personal trainer!) she has slimmed down and gained some muscle. Way to go Oma!

Aside from long walks on the beach, Oma loves swimming and exploring the wooded parks near her foster home. She tends to find walking down the street to be a little dull and boring, as she likes to run around when she is in a really in a good mood.

Like many of us Oma really likes her food, but she's become much better about her treats being taken away from her, or her foster brother being near her while she has treats.

This social butterfly loves making new friends! In fact, she loves everybody, including children, and has yet to meet someone she doesn't suck up to for a pat. She also is very tolerant of younger dogs and other dogs she meets in the park.
