Osa (CP)'s Story

***Currently located in Guerrero, Mexico***<br/><br/>Hi everyone! <br/>My name is Osa, which means bear in Spanish. I am a black lab looking girl and definitely have some bear traits to show off, like silky soft fur, warm eyes and a lot of cup, I mean, pup-energy! I was found on the streets in bad shape and very hungry. On top of the suffering you face when you haven't eaten in days, I also had a bad limp in one of my front legs. Everything was a blur, I cannot remember how that happend, maybe another dog, maybe a car... A kind Mexican woman had mercy on me and brought me to the shelter, where I am still today. For the first time in my life, I experienced what safety means- I had food, water, a warm, dry place to sleep and, the best part, friends! Since then there hasn't been a single day when I went hungry again.<br/><br/>My two besties and I play a lot together! We romp around like crazy and may sometimes run over one of the smaller puppers in our excitement (oopsies!). As I grow up, I will try to be more careful (or will I? ). To run and chase my friends is a lot of work and I recently noticed that I have zero pain in my leg- it has healed completely! Thankfully, because I wouldn't wanna miss all the fun! <br/><br/>I also like to get all the attention from the humans. Soft pets and chin rubs are the best! When the volunteers sit down to pet us, I will hang around for quite some time before I get myself a toy to play with. I am very friendly, but sometimes I don't quite know the social etiquette and I would love to have my personal human that can teach me how to properly dog and to be fully compatiable with their family! Learning new things is fun! <br/><br/>Another dog in the home would be cool, but it is not a must for me if I can get a lot of exercise and if we can go on play dates or to the dog park. I love toys, especially ropes and .. actually everything <br/><br/>I cannot wait to meet my future family and go on all the adventures with them! <br/>Lots of facelicks, your Osa <br/><br/><br/> <br/><br/><br/> If you are interested in FOSTERING, click on the Foster Button and fill out the online Foster Application<br/> If you are interested in ADOPTING, click on the Adopt Button and fill out the online Adoption Application<br/> Check out our VOLUNTEER Opportunities here https://www.surfersforstrays.org/get-involved <br/><br/><br/>If you have any questions, don't hesitate to contact us.
