Oscar

About Oscar

Oscar is a small to medium sized whippety shaped crossbreed aged around a year old. Oscar has had the worst start in life possible. Abandoned at the Botosani public shelter as a tiny puppy by people who never cared for him in the first place. His early weeks spent as one of 150 puppies, none of them being handled, socialised or anything but the most basic of care. When it came to the day that he was due to travel to us he had contracted a bad dose of kennel cough and he couldn’t travel, meaning more formative weeks spent in much the same way. When he arrived in our care he was traumatised and shut down and had no positive expectations left in his body or soul. Sadly it has taken months to get Oscar to the point that we can look for a home for him, the damage ran deep. He is still concerned by new people and new situations, but in familiar surroundings with the people he trusts he’s become quite a character. Food has been the key to his heart and he initially learned to love us as life sized good dispensers. He now appreciates that his humans have more to offer than just food and will allow fuss and affection and even approach to ask for it. He’s still a little wary of the lead going on and off but he enjoys his walks and behaves well. Oscar will need an experienced adopter and another dog in the home full time is essential. He could live with respectful children aged twelve plus. Adopters will need to expect for him to potentially hide up for the first few days as new situations are still scary. He has shown that he has the capacity to learn at a steady rate and he wants to be a part of a family and let the last of his walls fall down. This dog has passed their cat testing so can live with dog savvy cats.
