About OSO

Adoption Fee: $65
American Staffordshire Terrier / Boxer
Age: Adult
Sex: Male

COURTESY POST... IF INTERESTED WE WILL CONNECT YOU WITH THE 'OWNER' Oso is available for adoption!! **Please share** He is about 6 - 7 years old, but still very playful and active (loves walks, loves chasing toys). Oso was saved from the county shelter and had tons of health problems (liver issues, tick fever, extremely emaciated, skin problems, ear infections)...and through all the vet visits, needles, and testing, he remained an extremely sweet sweet dog. Oso loves people and has met many while I've been fostering him (he even got to go to my work with me for a few hours and greeted everyone who came in lovingly). He shows no preference when it comes to people - he's met men and women of different sizes....I have just never seen him with children (except my teenage nieces), but I couldn't imagine there being an issue. He loves to cuddle on the couch. He would love to sleep in bed with you, but if you prefer him next to you in his own bed he'll do that too. Another great thing about Oso is he is 100% housebroken (came from the shelter, to me, that way). He has never once had an accident in the house, even when he was sick. And I have an elderly dog who needs a pee pad because she can't hold it, and he doesn't even mark on that (new or used). There was a day when I was gone for over 11 hours, and still no accident! Oso would be perfectly happy as an only dog, but he could live with another dog friend. I've only seen him with my small dogs, but I am happy to do any meet and greets at my home (with dogs or cats). If there is another dog in the home there can be no 'free feeding' and Oso would have to be fed separate from the other pup (in a closed room). Or one inside, one outside (which is how I've been doing it with my dogs). Oso just has some food guarding tendencies, so better safe than sorry! *NO free feeding if there are other animals in the house!* Oso even knows a couple of tricks! He knows sit and high five! He's very smart and I'm sure he could learn even more. One of Oso's favorite things is to sun bathe!! Oso may need his ears cleaned once or twice a day indefinitely, but that's no big deal for such an awesome dog you're getting! So if you, or anyone you know, is interested in Oso please let me know! The rescue I'm fostering for is open to 'sleepovers' and 'foster to adopt' options. That way you can spend some time with him and see what he'd be like in your home, before making a full commitment. His adoption fee is only $65 and he is vaccinated, fixed and micro-chipped! (If you can't adopt Oso but can step in as his foster home until he is adopted, please let me know!!! We don't want him having to go into boarding :( ) When you foster everything is covered by the rescue - medical, food, etc!
