OSCAR

An E.C.A.D.R. Dog

This poor guy's story is quite sad. He was found outside a shelter in NY stuffed into a small cat carrier, matted from head to toe, and with a large wound on his leg which required staples.

He loves to play - and you wouldn't know that the vet estimated him to be 10 years old based on his energy. He gives a little "Oscar the Grouch" protest when you first pick him up and may even snap air if he feels threatened or frightened - but with a knowledgeable owner he is truly a great companion. Oscar can be a bit possessive of his food - it appeared that he didn't get too many regular meals by how thin he was - and will guard his "treasure" until he is finished. He seems to really take to men, but doesn't seem to mind women, teens, other dogs, or cats. Oscar loves the car and is just generally happy being with people.

Oscar is being fostered in Westtown, NY and his asking adoption fee is $125.

NOTE: Due to the volatile price of gas, getting multiple volunteers to help with long distance transporting is no longer feasible. We have listed the town and state where each dog is being fostered. Please consider how far you are willing to travel when filling out the application. The foster home will usually volunteer to help with transport for a reasonable distance.
