Your Pet's Story or Bio
Hi, my name is Osen (formerly known as Reggie). My mom saw me one day when she came to visit the shelter and fell in love with me but wanted to make sure her human family felt the same way, and on her second visit (with her family), she thought I was gone because she didn't see me and was really bummed out. Then she realized the wonderful staff at AWLA had just taken me out to get some fresh air! She immediately knew that she had to take me home. This was one of many homes I had been in, but I am happy to let you know that I have found my forever home. My mom knows that I love my food and toys too much, so she knows to give me my space (plus lots of love, patience, and belly rubs!) Now I get to play with my human family and my four-legged cousin all the time! I love going for long walks, sitting in my backyard, and taking naps on comfy couches. I'm over 8 years old, but that doesn't stop me from acting spunky! Thank you AWLA for connecting me with my family! And don't tell my mom that I sometimes jump on the dinner table to see if any food was left behind! There never is, but I can only hope! Nom nom nom!
