Companion Corner: Orion Still at Second Chance Animal Shelter

By Breanna SteeleiBerkshires Staff

GOOD NEWS: Orion has been adopted!

ARLINGTON, Vt. — Orion's had a hard live and he's been patiently waiting a very long time for his forever home.

 
iBerkshire's Companion Corner is a weekly series spotlighting an animal in our local shelters that is ready to find a home.
 
Orion is a 7- to 8-year-old pit bull mix who has been at Second Chance Animal Shelter since 2021. He was featured last August but still hasn't found a home. 
 
Shelter Manager Troy Quinn said Orion came to them from animal control after experiencing neglect.
 
"He was found by animal control on a property, tied to a tree, no shelter, no food or water. He was severely emaciated, very sick, very skinny, very weak. Brought him in, he tested positive for heartworm," Quinn said.
 
Once they rescued him, got rid of his heartworm, and got him up to normal weight, his silly and active side came out.
 
"He is a giant goofball. Loves to run, loves to play very rough house, loves to chew on his toys. Stuffed toys in particular, he just immediately shreds them," Quinn said.
