About Oso

Oso brings a calm and mellow presence to every room. At four years old and about 41 pounds, this lovable German Shepherd mix enjoys his daily walks and a bit of playtime, but he’s just as happy lounging on the couch. He’s incredibly affectionate and quickly warms up to people, craving companionship and plenty of cuddles. While Oso is fully potty trained and crate trained, he may vocalize a bit in new environments but settles down well. His favorite pastimes include snuggling, playing with squeaky toys, and exploring new places like coffee shops and pet stores. Ideal for a peaceful home, Oso needs someone who can take him on walks and offer a stable environment. He has a tendency to resource guard, so it's essential to be mindful of high-value items. He gets along with other dogs and cats, but he might not be the best fit for families with young children. Oso is healthy overall, with a minor concern regarding dry skin that requires medicated shampoo. He’s neutered and ready for a loving home that matches his gentle spirit. This could be the start of something paw-some.
