Here's what the humans have to say about me:
12/18/25 What did we do on today’s adventure: Hi, I’m Oso! Today I went on a lovely adventure to Almaden Lake Park with my human friend. We enjoyed a nice, long walk around the lake, and I took my time sniffing all the wonderful smells—my favorite part. There were lots of people walking, biking, and jogging, and I calmly watched the world go by. I also saw some other dogs along the way. I stayed polite and relaxed, but you could tell I was curious and would have loved to say hello if I could. We took a break for a yummy pup cup, which was definitely a highlight of my day! After that, we stopped by a dog and cat store where I carefully chose some treats. My friend told me I was a VERY good boy, and that made my tail wag. It was a peaceful, happy day, and I’d love to do it all again soon. What should potential adopters know about me: Oso is truly a joy to be around. He is confident, happy, friendly, affectionate, funny, and smart. During our outing, he was super friendly and genuinely wanted to greet everyone we met. Not once did he bark or growl—even when another dog growled at him. He remained calm, gentle, and unfazed. Oso is very loving and enjoys being petted, sometimes giving sweet kisses in return. He has excellent leash manners, walking nicely on a loose leash with almost no pulling. He was completely non-reactiveto everything we encountered, which suggests he may have the potential to live with cats with a careful and proper introduction. At PetSmart, Oso was relaxed and well-mannered, calmly choosing his treats. I had such a wonderful day with him and can’t wait to take him out again soon!
Three words to describe me: Delightful, Affectionate, Mellow
