My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Please meet Oso. He is a 12 year old Pug mix who ended up in our care with his sister Zoe. He weighs 27.4 pounds, is up-to-date on shots, neutered, microchipped and ready to fulfill his Christmas List wish of finding a home that will love him until the end of his days.

Oso is very much a ball of fun who loves other dogs and is looking for someone to play with. He loves his kennel and knows that when it’s bedtime, that’s where he goes, and he’s normally the first one in there!

When Oso wants your attention he will bark and when he wants to go outside, he will stand at the door until you acknowledge him.

We were told he lived with cats previously and was afraid of them and that he did great with kids. He has not been around cats or kids since in our care so we aren’t sure.
