UPDATE: Oso was humanely euthanized on Monday because he was suffering. Rest in peace little angel.
In Baldwin Park, California, an 18-year-old Pomeranian mix named Oso is very confused and depressed. On March 28, his owners surrendered him to the Baldwin Park Animal Care Center because they no longer had time for him.
For 18 years, Oso had been part of a family, and seemingly when he was young and healthy, he was welcomed, but growing old is rarely kind, and it is sad that Oso will never understand why he was abandoned by the only people he likely ever knew.

Medical notes on Oso:
Vision impaired. (most likely Oso is blind because he is bumping into the wall and the cage.)Oso has some sensitivity on the back of his body ( I am sure he is experiencing pain – back, spine and back legs ) Oso is walking and even wagging his tail. Oso was panting but you can see this on his intake pic.
Per Shelter:
Oso is under evaluation. FRIENDLY Now i am sure Oso has dental disease and he will most likely need full dental care. I don’t know if Oso can hear or he has a heart disease since I don’t have his medical notes. Videos and more photos were added in comments
