He is a big-hearted, low-maintenance cuddle buddy looking for a low-key, chill home.
📍 Stats at a Glance:
✔️ Age: ~6 years old
✔️ Breed Mix: Rottie/Staffie/Pittie/Boxer blend
✔️ Size: 105 lbs
✔️ Energy Level: Low – a couple of zoomies or a short stroll, and he’s done for the day
✔️ House Training: A+ – totally reliable
✔️ Personality: Friendly and affectionate
✔️ Health: Neutered, up to date on vaccines, and microchipped
Orso’s journey hasn’t been easy—he found himself surrendered to the shelter on Christmas Day. While we don’t know his full past, he appears to have been loved (a little too much in the food department) - he came in obese and limping but PACC has taken care of both of those issues. He’s a gentle, loving soul who craves companionship, leans in for affection, and thrives on belly rubs.
💛 The Ideal Home for Oscar:
🏡 A calm, relaxed household looking for a teddy-bear to brighten the mood and lift your spirits
🐕 Orso is unpredicatable with dogs hence he needs to be the one and only center of attention
🐱 No cats—we’re unsure of his history with our feline friends and want to be respectful of everyone's time
🚸 Kids 10+ — because kids take time, dogs take time and families with little ones rarely have time for both
Orso is one of the easiest dogs we've come across, in the right setting. His needs are clear and simple - a house with a fenced in back yard, and the occasional short sniff walk. He loves company but has zero separation anxiety and no destruction. Impeccable house manners. A retired couple who like to hang out at home and would love some company would be ideal. He's a simple guy, with simple needs!
Meet Orso – Mr. Easy Peasy,

We use a transparent adoption process, as follows:
-Completion of Adoption Application (*required)
-Phone call to answer any questions you may have
-Meet up (opportunity for you to meet the animal in their current setting)
-Short stay over (2-3 hour visit at your place to assess the right fit - PACC will bring the animal to you and will help with pet intros, as applicable)
-Adoption!
An exceptionally high number of potential adopters encounter situations that cause delays or lead them to change their minds about the animal, thus PACC is unable to put other adopters on hold to accommodate individual circumstances. We continue to invite ALL adopters through the adoption process, until the dog or cat is successfully homed. (In other words, even though you may have met the animal, PACC does not have the luxury of working exclusively with you, for the reasons outlined above). We will efficiently guide ALL potential adopters through our process and the family that completes the process first and is a good fit for the dog or cat will be given first consideration. Our main interest is being respectful of everyone’s time while transitioning our animals to loving permanent homes as quickly as possible.

More about this rescue
We are a group of former Peninsula Humane Society (PHS) volunteers and animal rescue advocates who have over 40 years combined experience in animal welfare.
Having worked extensively with the animals coming into San Mateo County's Coyote Point shelter, we have witnessed first hand the shortcomings of an outdated animal warehousing model.
PACC Board Members successfully encouraged the county to open the San Mateo County Animal Care & Control Contract for bid in preparation for the current contract ending in 2021 - something that has not been done for 69 years!
