My name is Oso!

My name is Oso! I am a sweet, gentle dog who loves spending time with my humans. I enjoy playing outside, napping on the couch, and getting peanut butter treats from my foster dad. I am a very laid back dog who just wants to hangout and enjoy life with my humans. 

I am a bit shy and a little timid so meeting new people is a little scary. Once I get to know you and start to feel comfortable, I will give you kisses and even snuggle on the couch with you. I tend to warm up to women a little faster than I do men. Finding a family who will be patient and understanding while I learn and gain confidence is very important. 

I really enjoy being outside! I get the cutest little zoomies and will try to get my humans to play with me. The cold doesn’t seem to bother me one bit. I am a little shy when it comes to going to the bathroom while leashed. Because of this (and my love of playing outside!) I would do best in a home that has a fenced in yard. 

Hanging out with my human is my favorite thing. I prefer to be wherever they are (I am a great companion!). We are working on kennel training, and while I do well, it isn’t my favorite place to be. I would much rather me laying on the couch near my foster mom. I am not super talkative unless I am playing outside or alerting my humans that there is someone new at the door. I have done well with other laid back dogs but need to find a home with no cats.

My foster family thinks I am going to make a wonderful companion for a loving family!
