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

Description

Dog Breed: Labrador Retriever / Mixed (short coat). Name: Oswald Sex: Male Estimated Age: About 8 weeks old (as of 2/22) Best Guess for Breed: Mixed Breed Weight: About 8 lbs (as of 2/22) Lives With: Dogs, kids and all people! Housebroken? He’s working on his potty training and making great progress! Story: Oswald was rescued from a shelter in Alabama with his sister. We are so happy to have him safe and sound in a foster home in the DC area now. Oswald is a happy sweetie who loves people and gets along great with other dogs and puppies. He knows just how to get comfortable up on the couch with his humans, and will love to join you on walks and trots around the neighborhood. Oswald is just looking for someone to be his new best furend and we know that he will repay them with endless amounts of love and tail wags. Like all dogs, Oswald will need an adopter who is committed to setting him up for success by enrolling in obedience training and exercising him both mentally and physically. He will also need love, patience, and socialization in order to thrive! What my foster says: If you’re looking for a snuggle bug with a side of silliness, Oswald is your guy! Oswald is easygoing, affectionate, and snuggly. He loves people and other dogs, but would do best in a home without kitties because he tries to chase and play. He can sometimes be a bit shy with people he doesn’t know and will need to get out in the world and start socializing. He hasn’t met many children yet, but he seemed to like them at adoption events. Oswald likes his toys. He is especially fond of toys he can chew on. He is cautious when he is outside in the backyard. It is all new to him so he doesn’t wander too far from the door. Oswald is still very young and working on house training. He is learning to use pee pads in the house and does go when he is let outside in the morning. Oswald is crate trained and sleeps in his crate all night and during nap times. He is still getting used to not having his sister in the crate with him. When he gets lonely he barks for a short time and then goes back to sleep. Overall, he’s a super sweet, snuggly, trainable puppy looking for his furever home. The fee to adopt Oswald is $475. That covers the cost of all his vaccines, the collar he’s wearing, his transport to DC and his care in his foster home. He’s up to date on all age appropriate vaccines.
