She aims to please!
Nice to meet you! My name is I’m Osa, and I’m a 4-year-old, 52-pound, spayed Shepherd mix female.
I am fully house-trained, and I walk perfectly on a leash with almost no pulling. I’m easily trainable (I’ve almost fully mastered “sit” and “wait”), too, and I respond well to verbal corrections. As far as my health goes, I am a proud TVT survivor and had surgery to repair my prolapsed vagina. I am all cleared by the vet now!
A little bit about me, you ask? Well, I am just the sweetest girl you’ll ever meet, and I will do anything I can to please my humans. I’m attention-motivated, and I will happily cuddle on the couch all day long and demand endless pets and love from you. But despite being incredibly loving, I also have an energetic spunky side! I love taking walks and am at my best when I’m getting about 2-4 miles of walking per day. I make a fantastic running buddy, too, and will run by your side while on a leash. When I’m not outside, I’ve been known to wrestle, as well as toss/chase my Kong around the house. I also tend to get the zoomies pretty often, especially after a nice, long walk. I used to be wary of men, but I have learnt to trust, and even snuggle!
Something that I also wanted to add is that I can take a little while to warm up to new people and new surroundings. Therefore, I prefer slow introductions in order to feel comfortable. I can feel nervous and tense around males on occassion. Currently, I’d rather they not engage with me and just allow me to sniff them once ready. I am also muzzle trained and
My ideal home would be with an active family who can provide me with sufficient exercise every day. I also require lots of love and cuddles, and I’m happy to report that I don’t have any separation anxiety and can be left alone for several hours with no issues. I am kitty- and dog-friendly, and I think I would do okay around little humans.
