Description:
Forever Home wanted!!! Meet Oscar!!!! Oscar is an adorable 6-year-old, 35lb terrier mix who has shown us more and more of his personality as he relaxes and settles into his foster home. He came from the shelter cautious and unsure of new surroundings, but soon it became clear that he desperately wanted to trust he was safe. With time, routine and structure with his foster family, Oscar has shown that he can be playful, curious and energetic in comfortable surroundings! Oscar tends to be hesitant around new people and dogs when he first meets them, but will warm up quickly with treats and a little bit of patience. Once comfortable, he loves to receive pets and affection and play with other resident dogs. When out and about, Oscar is great on a leash and well-behaved in relaxed and familiar settings, especially when his trusted humans advocate for him and lead him confidently. He does not need a lot of high energy or busy locations to make him happy; he is quite content when just strolling with his favorite people and visiting his favorite places. You could say he is more of an introvert, not thriving on having to meet too many new dogs or people too quickly! While Oscar does not currently live in a home with children, he has done well with children in the neighborhood when introduced slowly, respectfully and with patience. As he has exhibited some prey drive, we are not sure how he would do with cats. Our sweet, handsome, Oscar is looking for a family that can commit to slow introductions to life and guide him on his journey to grow in confidence. If Oscar sounds like the right dog for your family, fill out an adoption application at www.labradorsandfriends Oscar is located in Southern California.
