My Story
Personality: He's very calm and mellow. A couple walks a day and a bit of play time keeps him satisfied and ready to nap or lounge. He loves to snuggle up next to anyone and is immediately very loving and trusting. He's a great companion who just wants to love everyone! He prefers company but has no separation anxiety.
Education: Fully potty trained, recently crate trained, and walks well on the leash. He may whine a bit in the crate or in a new environment at first, but settles quickly.
Favorite Activities: His absolute favorite thing to do is cuddle or be near you. He likes squeaky toys and balls. He enjoys going to coffee shops, pet stores, and new places to walk and sniff.
Looking For: A mellow home with someone who can take him out for a couple of walks a day, take him to the new places, coffee shops, and pet stores. Oso is very loving but can resource guard, so he needs someone who understands not to take high value items directly from him. He may get overstimulated during rough play with both dogs and humans, so it's best to avoid playing rough with him.
Special Needs/Concerns: He has dry skin and uses medicated shampoo and an ointment for chaffing on his belly due to fatty lumps.
Bio: A great companion who just wants to love everyone!
Hi there! I'm Oso - a four-year-old, 41-pound German Shepherd Mix with a big heart and an even bigger love for cuddles. I'm from the Pasadena Humane Society during the LA fires in 2005, so I'm really looking forward to finding a stable, loving home to call my own.
I'm a super sweet, calm guy who's perfectly happy with a couple of daily walks, a little playtime, and lots of lounging. Snuggling is my absolute favorite, and I bond quickly - I just love being close to my people. I'm also a big fan of squeaky toys, balls, and exploring fun new places like coffee shops, pet stores, and anywhere I can sniff around.
I'm fully potty-trained, walk nicely on a leash, and I'm crate-trained too (though I might whine a bit at first, especially somewhere new). I've already been neutered and I'm in good health overall - I just have dry skin, so I use medicated shampoo and a bit of ointment on my belly where I get some chafing from fatty lumps.
I'm great with other dogs and cats, but I'm not the best match for a home with young kids. I do resource guard and need someone who understands not to take high-value items from me. I can also get overstimulated during rough play with both dogs and humans, which may lead me to react more strongly.
My dream home is a peaceful, mellow one. I'd love someone who's around during the day, though with a little time and practice I can handle being on my own, too. I'd be happy as your only pet or with another calm furry friend.
My adoption fee includes spaying/neutering, shots, and microchip. If you want to take me home, please apply!
