ONE LAST THING:
Oso has been through a lot in his short life and his trust level for people is low. He was surrendered for euthanasia due to nipping. He is shy and fearful as he was unsocialized. It takes him a bit to trust people, so his owner must be aware that he's scared and the tendency to nip increases as his fear grows. He needs to be desensitized to strangers. Oso also needs grooming at least 3 times a year and he is fearful of this, but it needs to be done to keep his coat tidy and him pain free.

A good home for Oso is one where his people are patient and loving and work with his issues to gain his trust. He is a beautiful sweet dog when he trusts his person.
