About Oswald

Meet Oswald, a charming little character with a big heart! Oswald was discovered as a stray in Southern Virginia and came to us in poor condition, reportedly suffering injuries that indicated he had a rough start. Thankfully, he's made a full recovery and is now thriving. At around 5 years old and weighing about 20 lbs, Oswald is a delightful companion. He's incredibly sweet, easygoing, and gets along well with just about everyone, including dogs and cats. This little guy is a total couch potato and an amazing houseguest—completely housebroken and quiet. His foster mom highlights his gentle nature and how well he fits into the home environment. Oswald enjoys his walks and dreams of a yard where he can chase squirrels. He really is the perfect blend of chill and social! Having another dog to play with would make his days even brighter.
