About Oslo
All About Me and My Unique Personality: Meet Oslo!!
He’s timid initially but will quickly become an adoring devotee of his special person who makes him feel safe and loved.
Once he comes out of his shell, he will follow you everywhere and would like nothing more than for you to do life together as a team unit.
Sweet, affectionate and gentle.
Oslo would definitely benefit from somebody helping him work on his confidence outside the home.
Not very noisy although he does have some separation anxiety that would likely improve once he feels safe and secure in his forever home.
He loves fetch and gently holding your hand with his mouth when he is feeling extra happy.
My Ideal Home: A healthy and capable retired person or an introvert who works from home.
Oslo just wants to be with you all the time and to show how much he loves you.
The outside world can seem big and scary to him so he either needs someone who is willing to start with small walks and increase as he feels more confident or someone who isn’t terribly interesting in going out too much.
Oslo ABSOLUTELY needs and deserves a person who will become the centre of his universe and vice versa. He needs someone who is committed to spending the rest of his like making him feel safe and loved. He’s looking for his special person, his human soulmate. If that sounds like you and you are home a lot, we would love to hear from you.
What is Known About My Background: Oslo was a regretful surrender due to a move, possibly to an aged care facility. His timid personality was not suitable for coping at the shelter and he had shut down and was very fearful.
Within a couple of hours of being in his foster home he had started to play and was extremely affectionate. Little man just needed a good cuddle.
How Do I Interact with Kids, Dogs, Cats and Other Pets: He has been around kids 4, 6 and 8yrs and is fine with them. He is not a biter and is very gentle and sweet.
Oslo has lived with dogs and cats prior and enjoyed playing with both.
