About Osito

Meet Osito—your chill, cuddly best friend located in Houston, Texas. This charming Bernese Mountain Dog mix is just six months old, weighing around 18 pounds. Osito embodies the art of taking life at his own pace, enjoying peaceful walks, playing with chew toys, and lounging next to his favorite humans. He has already mastered potty training, and while he still needs some practice with leash skills, his eagerness to learn makes him a quick study. Osito is friendly with other dogs and is currently learning how to be comfortable in his crate. Crate time is turning into an enjoyable experience for him with a tasty pig ear or a peanut-butter-filled Kong. He also loves the company of children, having spent time with a 5-year-old and a 7-year-old. While he hasn’t lived with cats, he tends to ignore them during walks. Osito's story began when he was just two months old, abandoned in a park but fortunately rescued and fostered. Now, he’s ready to find a loving forever home where he can thrive and share his cuddly spirit. If a sweet, laid-back companion who enjoys furry friends and peaceful adventures sounds like your ideal match, Osito might just be the one! After all, every animal deserves a happy ending.
