OSWALD - LABRADOR RETRIEVER / SHEPHERD / MIXED (MEDIUM COAT) DOG FOR ADOPTION

Description

Dog Breed: Labrador Retriever / Shepherd / Mixed (medium coat). Adoption Fee: $350. Oswald is a sweet 3-year-old Black lab/shepherd mix, who is the perfect blend of playful energy and nighttime cuddles. During the day, Oswald is full of life. He loves going on walks, playing tug-of-war, and chewing on his favorite rubber bone. At nighttime, he is a total cuddle bug who loves to fall asleep to nose kisses and belly rubs. One of our favorite quirks of his is how he smiles when he is super comfy (see the smiley picture ). Oswald is 53 lbs, but given his cuddly nature, sometimes forgets he’s not a lap sized dog. He is a very smart dog, and is housebroken, leash trained, crate trained and knows all the basic commands (sit, wait, lay down, drop it, shake, spin/spin the other way, off, etc.) He grew up with toddlers/babies and is very good with them. He is also good with other dogs, but greatly enjoys playtime, so would probably do best with other playful dogs. Overall, he is silly, loyal and full of heart. He has brought so much love and laughter to his temporary home and we’re excited for him to bring it to his forever home as well.

PLEASE READ BEFORE CONTACTING US! We are NOT a shelter: All of our dogs live in private homes with foster families. Come and meet the Almost Home dogs and their fosters at our Meet & Greet events, where you can learn more about our wonderful dogs from the people who live with them, find out which dogs are on their way and when they’ll arrive, and fill out an application to adopt or foster. We cannot adopt to homes where electric-shock fencing systems or training collars are used. For more information on the dangers of electric-shock collars, please visit banshockcollars.ca/studies.php . We do not have an online adoption application; to request an application, e-mail us at AlmostHome4Dogsyahoo. To speed e-mail processing time, be sure to note the name of the dog you are inquiring about in the Subject line. For Meet & Greet times and locations, visit our home page, where you also will find information on our adoption process and fees. FOSTER FAMILIES ARE LIFESAVERS!! Can you open your heart and home for a few weeks to homeless shelter dog? Remember, by fostering a dog, you save TWO lives — that of your foster dog, and that of the dog who takes his place in the shelter! Come to a Meet & Greet and find out if fostering is for you — there's no reward quite like the feeling that you've saved a life ... or two!
