"He enjoyed all the spoils of autumn, sniffing his way up and down nature paths, meeting people and dogs at Animal Rescue Festival, and even running in the Turkey Trot," the Fredericksburg SPCA said. "He's now looking towards enjoying the holidays in his foster home and helped pick out their Christmas tree at a farm."
Orlando already knows commands like "sit," and "no." His foster family said he is very treat motivated, so teaching him something new should be no problem.
