Meet Oso! This sweet, bewildered floof was surrendered to the shelter because his owner “had no time” for him.
Eleven years old. Completely blind. And possibly unable to hear. Imagine losing the world you know and the people you love ~ then being left in a loud, bright, unfamiliar place you can’t see. We quickly got him into a loving foster home where he was able to decompress . Once he did, we discovered that he is the sweetest, snuggliest, most loving little bear.
Oso's top three list: 1) belly rubs, 2) belly rubs, and 3) more belly rubs! This little man loves to snuggle up and cuddle with his people, and when they're not available he'll find the nearest soft bed and sleep the soundest sleep you've ever seen.
Despite being blind and hard of hearing, Oso navigates life with confidence and adapts beautifully to his surroundings. He loves being outside (see the photo of him soaking in a beautiful sunset while facing the wrong way) and is great on a leash and in the car. Oso gets along wonderfully with other dogs, cats, and children, is totally housetrained, and sleeps soundly through the night. He’s comfortable being home alone when needed, as long as he's in a smaller, contained area so he can't accidentally hurt himself. And as long as it has lots of comfy beds, of course.
Oso has a mild (1/6) heart murmur but his radiographs look great and he doesn't need any medication for it. He's looking for a peaceful forever home that's generally calm and quiet, and gentle humans who will shower him with the love, cuddles, and belly rubs he deserves. He can navigate a few stairs under supervision, but it's best that any stairs in the home are blocked off for his safety.
If you’re looking for a fluffy, affectionate king who will fill your life with warmth, joy, and sunshine, Oso is ready to meet you!
Oso is approximately 11 years old and 9 lbs.
Fostered in Waynesboro, PA
