He is a 1 year old neutered male Chiweenie Mix. Oso comes to us after a rough beginning, surrendered by an owner who no longer wanted to provide care and left him living in unsafe, neglected conditions. Even with that history, he’s arrived without bitterness—just a young dog trying to figure out where he fits. At only a year old, he’s still very much in his “becoming” stage. You can see it in the way he observes everything first, like he’s quietly taking notes before deciding how to respond. There’s a softness to him, mixed with a cautious curiosity that grows a little more each day. He isn’t asking for much—just consistency, safety, and someone who sees him as worth the effort it takes to rebuild trust. With time, Oso has every chance to settle into a steady, loyal companion who bonds deeply once he knows he’s secure. He’s ready for a home that doesn’t change its mind about him. We hold an event every weekend at our facility on SATURDAY and SUNDAY 11-5pm and open to the public. It is first come first serve we do not evaluate applications prior to an event. If there are multiple interested parties in the same dog or puppy at the same time we would pick the best out of the 10 applications. Please visit our social media platforms for the specifics for each weekend as it changes from week to week. Please find our application at lovejoyfoundation.org when you come to an event please bring that filled out in hand with you. You can find our application at Lovejoyfoundation.org.
