Meet Oso - ready to be your forever best friend! Oso has gotten a second chance after being found as a stray and languishing a shelter. He is a typical border collie (his foster thinks he is a border collie/mini aussie cross) - super smart and trainable, and loves his people. - Bonds very closely with his person, and loves to snuggle - Loves fetch! - Is learning puzzles and obedience training, and has taken a shine to beginning agility training (using benches as jumps and tunnel) - Housebroken and learning leash manners well - Like many herding dogs, gets mouthy when excited but is redirecting well. - Seperation anxiety is improving but he would prefer someone that is home most of the time and can work on helping him to feel safe and secure in a rest space - Would be fine with dog savvy older kids - Not good with cats, would prefer no other dogs due to overstimulation - Is improving with overtimulation on walks, any quiet place where he can continue to improve would be ideal. This guy hasn't had the best start in life but deserves a place where he can blossom into the best friend ever. Got a throwing arm ready? Have the patience and space to help him feel safe and secure? He will repay you 1000 fold with love (and squeaky toys!) Submit an application at Hdrescueoregon.com. $400 adoption fee
