Bright and agile Oscar (Brownsville)

This is Oscar. Oscar's rescue story began when he found himself at a "high-kill" shelter around the time of the Academy Awards show, which is how he became known as "Oscar." Oscar won the hearts of everyone he has met, from shelter, kennel and transport volunteers to the foster couple he currently resides with. Oscar does best with submissive dogs. Whenever his foster family is home, Oscar has the run of the home. At night, the entire pack sleeps in the bedroom where there are a number of comfortable options to choose from. A word about cats . . . Cats, belong on Broadway, where the award is called the Tony, not the Oscar . . . Hello! Cats and Oscar sadly, do not blend. His foster family has cats so when they are at work, Oscar stays in a super-size crate. He does not seem to mind much, as his people try to make it as comfortable and inviting as possible and always leave him with something very special (that he only gets when he's in the crate) to chew on. If not for those pesky cats, we think Oscar would be fine with the run of the house when his people are out. He is housebroken and shows no signs of anxiety or destructive behavior.

Oscar is learning to walk better on leash. He just got a new "no-pull" harness that his foster people love. Oscar is an energetic and athletic young dog who should have a long daily walk at the very least. But, he has the potential to enjoy so much more outdoors--from hiking with people, to playing in a safely fenced area. Oscar is bright and agile and eager to please and has the capacity to be a star pupil in learning new things. He is routinely exposed to basic commands: Sit, Come, Wait, Down, Off, Okay and Leave It. He has done a fantastic job at sitting and waiting for his dinner. Oscar is simply unconditional love in the form of a dog. Oscar is affectionate and gives occasional kisses, but is not obnoxious about it. He is a perfect companion. He is keenly tuned to his person's emotions. He loves to snuggle and keep you company wherever you are. And, if there is no room beside you or on your lap, Oscar will lay down by your feet. Please, finish this sentence, "And, the Oscar goes to . . ." Believe me, the person who adopts this special boy will be receiving something infinitely more valuable than a 24-karat gold statuette, they will be receiving a canine soul-mate.

Oscar is a 44lb 2-year-old male Staffordshire terrier mix. He is neutered, vaccinated and micro-chipped. An application with references, a home visit, and an adoption fee are required to adopt. Reply to this posting for.
