About this Dog
Oswald is a sweet 3-year-old Black lab/shepherd mix, who is the perfect blend of playful energy and nighttime cuddles. During the day, Oswald is full of life. He loves going on walks, playing tug-of-war, and chewing on his favorite rubber bone. At nighttime, he is a total cuddle bug who loves to fall asleep to nose kisses and belly rubs. One of our favorite quirks of his is how he smiles when he is super comfy (see the smiley picture ). Oswald is 53 lbs, but given his cuddly nature, sometimes forgets he’s not a lap sized dog. He is a very smart dog, and is housebroken, leash trained, crate trained and knows all the basic commands (sit, wait, lay down, drop it, shake, spin/spin the other way, off, etc.) He grew up with toddlers/babies and is very good with them. He is also good with other dogs, but greatly enjoys playtime, so would probably do best with other playful dogs. Overall, he is silly, loyal and full of heart. He has brought so much love and laughter to his temporary home and we’re excited for him to bring it to his forever home as well. If you are interested in this great guy, please email us at [email protected]. (Local adoptions preferred — Philadelphia and tri-state area [South Jersey and northern Delaware] only.) PLEASE READ BEFORE CONTACTING US! We are NOT a shelter: All of our dogs live in private homes with foster families. Come and meet the Almost Home dogs and their fosters at our Meet & Greet events, where you can learn more about our wonderful dogs from the people who live with them, find out which dogs are on their way and when they’ll arrive, and fill out an application to adopt or foster. We cannot adopt to homes where electric-shock fencing systems or training collars are used. For more information on the dangers of electric-shock collars, please visit banshockcollars.ca/studies.php . We do not have an online adoption application; to request an application, e-mail us at [email protected]. To speed e-mail processing time, be sure to note the name of the dog you are inquiring about in the Subject line. For Meet & Greet times and locations, visit our home page, where you also will find information on our adoption process and fees. FOSTER FAMILIES ARE LIFESAVERS!! Can you open your heart and home for a few weeks to homeless shelter dog? Remember, by fostering a dog, you save TWO lives — that of your foster dog, and that of the dog who takes his place in the shelter! Come to a Meet & Greet and find out if fostering is for you — there's no reward quite like the feeling that you've saved a life ... or two!

Adopt Oswald and Receive Oswald's Fund
Adopting a pet can be expensive, and we're trying to help by fundraising for each individual in need of adoption. After verifying the adoption, Oswald's new family will receive the funds that their pet has raised.
$0.0 is Oswald's current balance
The adopting family is the only party eligible to receive the contribution. If you adopted the Oswald, thank you for providing a home and a loving family!
Please begin the process of claiming Oswald's contribution here.
For adoptions in which nokillnetwork.org was the matchmaker and we have contact information for both parties, we make every effort to contact the adopting family. For adoptions that were not facilitated by nokillnetwork.org, we still encourage the adopting family to claim the contribution by submitting the necessary information.
The adopting family is the only party eligible to receive the contribution. The adopting family will be required to provide proof of adoption between 4-6 weeks after adoption. This is to ensure that the home is a good match and Oswald was not returned. After we have verified the adoption, Oswald’s balance will be sent to the adopting family. Our staff provides instructions and help throughout this process.
We want the Oswald’s balance to go to the adopting family as a way to say thank you for providing a loving home and to help with pet care expenses. In the unfortunate event we cannot contact them and verify the adoption, Oswald’s balance will remain in our general fund. This fund may be used to match contributions made to other adoptable pets, incentify other adoption-related actions, promote our mission, or support the operating expenses of nokillnetwork.org. If you would like to make a direct contribution to nokillnetwork.org to help us help other pets in need, you can go here. We appreciate your generosity and help!
