Meet Oso

Oso is a handsome dog who is still adjusting to the shelter environment. He has shown that he can be social with other dogs in playgroup, engaging with the group and allowing greetings while displaying a dainty and gentle play style. In the shelter, Oso has often appeared unsure and overwhelmed by new people and handling, and he may need time to feel comfortable before interacting. Staff and volunteers continue getting to know him and learning more about his personality each day. Due to capacity at the shelter, this pet is currently at risk for euthanasia. We are urgently seeking placement through adoption, foster, or approved rescue. If you are interested in adopting, fostering, or rescuing this dog, please email dasadopt@dallas.gov as soon as possible. When emailing, be sure to include a callback phone number so our team can contact you promptly.
