About Oso

Oso is a 5-year-old Rottweiler/Doberman mix looking for a patient adopter who can help him restart his life. After being surrendered by the only family he had ever known, Oso has shown signs of anxiety in the shelter environment. Transitioning to a calm and supportive home is essential for him to thrive. This gentle giant loves companionship and treasures playtime, belly rubs, and cuddles. Although he’s accustomed to having the run of the house, it's important to maintain an organized environment since he can occasionally get into things if left unattended. Oso can be fearful of new people, hence his ideal adopter should introduce him to new friends slowly and carefully. He is also selective about his canine interactions. A meet-and-greet with any resident dogs is necessary to ensure a good match. Oso needs a handler who understands his sensitive nature and can manage his introductions to new experiences with care. With the right environment, Oso can become a loyal and loving companion. If you think you can provide him the understanding and patience he needs, he may be the perfect fit for you. Every animal deserves a happy ending. This one starts with you.
