OSCAR – I’VE BEEN ADOPTED!!!
My name is Oscar and I am a Lhasa Apso/Tibetan Terrier Mix. I am middle-aged at 8-9 years. I am about 30 pounds right now, and am currently on a diet to lose some weight. I had to stay quiet and calm because I had heartworm, and that meant no running or playing, so I got a little chunky. Even though I am a bit portly, I still am quite the handsome dude!
Now that my treatment is over and I am heartworm free, I LOVE to run in the backyard with my foster brothers and sisters and I also LOVE to go on walks. I am blind in my right eye, but that doesn’t bother me at all. I just have to make sure that when I’m on my walk, I stay close to my foster mom so that I don’t trip over the curb, or accidentally walk into someone or something I shouldn’t!! When my foster mom plays fetch with me, she makes sure that I see the ball before she throws it so I know where to run and get it.
My foster mom says that to know me is to love me and she affectionately calls me her gentle giant. I am very sweet and gentle and I love everyone and everything. I don’t bark and I am perfectly housebroken. I love to chew on my rope toys and I also love to carry a stuffed toy around the house. I am also very good and patient when my foster mom cleanses my eyes and puts my eye drops in. In fact I’m so good I get a little treat every time as my reward. When it’s time for me to go to bed at night I settle on my little bed and I’m good until the morning. I think I am just the perfect dog!
I would love to find my forever home. My ideal family would not have young children, but older children to play with would be great. I would also be happy just hanging out with a single person, a couple, or a senior citizen. I just need someone to love me, give me the attention that I deserve, take me on walks, and play with me. I promise I will love you in return.
If you think I could fit into your family, please contact my foster mom at mada51@sbcglobal.net. You can also check out my Petfinder page to learn a bit more about me.
I am altered, up-to-date on all my shots, and am heartworm negative.
