ORTO

Sex: Male 
Age: 2.5 Years (Feb 2026) 
Size: Large (26 kg) 
Location: Turkey 

Orto was once just another street dog with very little hope of survival until AFOT stepped in and changed his story forever. Today, Orto is safe in our care, and we only have wonderful things to say about this incredible boy.
And incredible truly is the word.
Orto is everyone’s best buddy, with not a bad bone in his body. He’s a total diamond the kind of dog who instantly wins hearts with his sweet nature and happy-go-lucky spirit. Handsome, and delightfully goofy, Orto brings smiles wherever he goes.
Since being with AFOT, he has absolutely thrived. With love, care, and a second chance, his true personality has blossomed. He loves to play, stay active, spend time outdoors, make new human friends, and soak up every bit of affection he can get.
Orto has the perfect mix of fun-loving energy and affectionate charm. Whether he’s bounding around during playtime or leaning in for cuddles, he gives his whole heart. He would be the perfect match for someone looking for a loyal best friend, an adventurous companion, and a gentle giant with a goofy streak who spreads joy wherever he goes.
Orto has already overcome so much now all he needs is a loving forever home to complete his journey.

Orto is neutered, vaccinated, chipped, and has been tested for Brucella, Leishmaniasis, Anaplasma, Heartworm, and E-Canis before leaving Turkey along with proof of testing and signed vet letters.
If you think you could offer Orto the forever home he’s been waiting for, please check out our adoption process via Adopting With AFOT. There, you’ll find everything you need to get started, including our adoption form. A home check is always carried out, and while there’s no fixed adoption fee, we do kindly ask for a voluntary donation to help with our ongoing rescue efforts.

Important Information

All our dogs will be tested prior to leaving Turkey for the following diseases:

BRUCELLA
LEISHMANIAS
ANAPLASMA
HEARTWORM
E-CANIS

Proof of tests and accompanying signed vet letters will be sent to adopter.

A home check is always made.

We provide a lifetime rescue back up (RBU) and work to DEFRA guidelines.

While there is no adoption fee required, we do ask for a voluntary donation to help towards our costs of between £595-£795. Each dog costs us on average £2500-£3000 to rescue, rehabilitate and rehome and our adoption donation is only a small proportion of this.

We rely solely on fundraising for the remainder plus any emergency treatment needed to help these abused, neglected and abandoned animals which are often in horrific condition and desperate need when they come into AFOT care.

Every penny we raise goes towards rescuing another dog, so even if you decide not to rehome one of our dogs today, please consider a donation so that we can continue to rescue another dog in the future.
