Meet Oso - ready to be your forever best friend!

Oso has gotten a second chance after being found as a stray and languishing a shelter. He is a typical border collie (his foster thinks he is a border collie/mini aussie cross) - super smart and trainable, and loves his people.

- Bonds very closely with his person, and loves to snuggle
- Loves fetch!
- Is learning puzzles and obedience training, and has taken a shine to beginning agility training (using benches as jumps and tunnel)
- Housebroken and learning leash manners well

- Like many herding dogs, gets mouthy when excited but is redirecting well.
- Seperation anxiety is improving but he would prefer someone that is home most of the time and can work on helping him to feel safe and secure in a rest space
- Would be fine with dog savvy older kids
- Not good with cats, would prefer no other dogs due to overstimulation
- Is improving with overtimulation on walks, any quiet place where he can continue to improve would be
