Oso

My story

This pet needs emergency placement. Please click here to go to our emergency placement page for more information.Oso is at risk due to behavior concerns. Oso arrived at the care center as a stray, when rangers found her tied to the fence Oso lunged, hard, barked and growled at them. In the care center, Oso does accept treats on occasion and allows petting. Oso is continuously fearful in the shelter environment. She would refuse to return to kennel and was observed to baulk and pancake. Resulting in handlers having to muscle her back or using a sling to return to kennel. Throughout her stay in the care center Oso has improved with familiar handlers but will display fearful behaviors around new handlers. Despite our best efforts by offering daily enrichment Oso is having a hard time adjusting to the stress of the environment. Medically, Oso is apparently healthy.Oso arrived at MACC as a stray with a limited history. During his stay in shelter Oso has been observed to be highly fearful, noted to have a tense and trembling body and seeking exit while with handlers. Due to the detailed behaviors we recommend an experienced adult only home. Primary Color: Brown Secondary Color: White Weight: 51 Age: 1yrs 5mths 2wks
