Oso looks like a big lay-around huggable teddy bear and that's exactly what he is. But he is also always ready to go and he loves to play and run around with the female at his foster home. He has an easygoing disposition, accepts what comes his way, including the other dogs in the household, and just does not sweat the small stuff! He can be very loving when he wants but he is also quite independent and seems to always have an agenda and a plan.

He is housetrained and loves being part of the family. Getting some attention like coming in the house, going for walks, getting pets, et cetera are his new favorite activities.

Oso shows signs of neglect and seems very grateful for things that seem insignificant to us - a backyard to run in instead of a chain, a house to curl up in. Because of his neglect, Oso may have a special need. He appears to have suffered from chronic ear infection - which may continue - and has lost some hearing because of that. That all does not stop him from running up for food with the other dogs in the yard or checking out what is happening beyond the fence. Oso is generally a quiet dog although he can express himself when he wants something.

Oso is currently being fostered in Cle Elum, WA
