This is an updated biography on our handsome red and black long coat male, Oscar. He Is estimated to be 3 years of age with irresistible features of an undiscovered show dog. He arrived in our program quite insecure, suffering from severe separation anxiety. The company of other canines initially helped offer reassuance, but when was paired with a particular foster female, Joiya, his anxieties seemed to disappear completely. It is apparent the two share a unique bond. Together, they helped each other thrive and learn to relax in the home without their human. While we hoped that the two could spend their futures side by side, their time together has allowed Oscar to develop the confidence and maturity to enjoy a comfortable life with another canine partner who can offer him the support to continue his amazing progress. This boy is very eager to meet all dogs with uninhibited social curiosity. He can be a bit intrusive with his greeting style, so supervision will be helpful to remind him to pay attention to his manners. He will try his best to initiate play with almost every dog he meets. His play style can be rather robust, and he can escalate with excitement rather quickly. Again, with close supervision and guidance, he will quickly adjust and be mindful of his boundaries. When he is not engaging in play, Oscar prefers to rest quietly indoors near his human. On hot summer days, he will make frequent rest stops in the pool to cool off his paws, then return indoors to lounge. Oscar enjoys car rides and daily walks where he has learned to ignore most distractions along the way. He has a strong attraction to cats and squirrels with an instinct to chase, so he would do best in a home without felines. He also has a powerhouse nose that loves to seek any new scent on his path. This guy is housebroken and accustomed to the use of a dog door. Oscar has progressed to become a household delight and appears ready to join a family who will offer him the structure, company, and all the belly rubs he deserves. No cats. Small critters unknown.
