OSCAR - CHIHUAHUA / RAT TERRIER / MIXED DOG FOR ADOPTION

Description

Dog Breed: Chihuahua / Rat Terrier / Mixed. Adoption Fee: 300. *This animal is a part of our “Seniors for Seniors” program where we offer senior adopters an opportunity to adopt an eligible pet at a discounted fee.* Hi there, I’m Oscar — a 10-year-old Chihuahua/Rat Terrier mix with a lot of love and just enough sass to keep things interesting. I may be a little older, but don’t let that fool you — I’ve still got plenty of pep in my step. I get along great with dogs of all sizes (though I mostly mind my own business and let the others do their thing). I’m leash trained, car ride approved, and I know the basics — I’m basically the total package. I’m potty trained too; I just need a solid routine and some encouragement to keep me on track. I’m a pretty chill guy with low energy. I enjoy my walks, lounging in sunny spots, and being your little shadow. I do like to let you know when I’m ready to come back inside — I mean, wouldn’t you appreciate a polite heads-up? At this point in life, I’m just looking for a cozy home where I can be your loyal companion, get a few ear scratches, and enjoy my golden years in peace and comfort. Think we’d make a great match? I’m ready when you are! – Oscar Adopting a senior dog is like getting a vintage car – it comes with character, a few extra quirks, and might need a bit more maintenance. Expect occasional tune ups at the vet for oil changes (aka meds), and embrace the fact that those 'normal lumps and bumps' are just part of the well-earned charm package! Ruff Start will share all known health information with adopters and recommendations to keep your Senior dog in top shape. Oscar is from Texas. If you are interested in getting to know this animal better, please fill out an adoption application. An adoption application is the best way to show your interest in an animal and is not a binding contract.

If you are unable to adopt but want to help this animal and others in our care, you can donate to support the medical and veterinary needs of all Ruff Start Rescue animals.
