My story

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

OSO – Male Cattle Dog/Carolina Dog Mix | 6 Years Old DOB: 11/04/2019 | 36 lbs | Healthy, Vaccinated & Neutered

Meet Oso, the loyal, gentle-hearted companion you’ve been searching for! With his kind eyes and steady spirit, Oso is that perfect blend of courage and calm. He’s smart, affectionate, and happiest when he’s near his people — whether that’s enjoying a cozy evening at home or exploring the great outdoors together. Oso is the kind of dog who listens, bonds deeply, and brings peace and joy wherever he goes.

Breed Info:
Cattle Dogs and Carolina Dogs are both intelligent, loyal, and active breeds. They thrive on companionship, structure, and purpose. Known for their problem-solving skills and devotion, they make incredible family dogs for those who enjoy a mix of adventure and quiet connection.

Owner Responsibilities:
Oso’s ideal adopter is someone who values routine, communication, and daily connection. He’ll need regular exercise, mental stimulation, and plenty of love. Continue positive training, feed a balanced diet, and give him a soft place to rest — and you’ll have a best friend for life.

Things to Consider Before Adopting:

  • Do you have the time and energy for daily walks and companionship?

  • Is your landlord pet-friendly, and do you have space for a medium-sized dog?

  • Are you settled enough to commit to a lifelong friend through every season?

  • Dogs are family — they depend on you, through joy and change alike.

Vet Care:
Oso is healthy, vaccinated, and neutered — but even though he’s in great shape, please take him to your trusted vet soon after adoption to establish ongoing care and keep him thriving.

The 3-3-3 Rule & Commitment for Life:
The first 3 days are for decompressing — everything is new, so give him space and reassurance.
The first 3 weeks are when he’ll start learning your home, your schedule, and your heart.
The first 3 months are when trust blossoms, and he’ll know he’s truly home.
Adopting a dog is a promise — one filled with love, laughter, and a bond that lasts a lifetime.

Why Oso Would Be a Great Addition:
Oso’s calm yet joyful spirit will melt your heart every single day. He’s a steady friend, a loyal shadow, and a source of unconditional love. With Oso by your side, your home will feel warmer, your days fuller, and your heart forever changed. ❤️
