About Oscar

Oscar is an 80-pound Husky who quickly becomes the center of attention wherever he goes. At around 4–5 years old, he packs a classic Husky punch: high energy, animated, and social with a touch of drama that always keeps things interesting. You can expect him to meet every new person with an enthusiastic greeting and a wagging tail, showing off his big personality and soft side in equal measure. This is a dog for someone who really appreciates what makes Huskies tick—brains, drive, and a need for daily movement. Oscar will do best with an owner who’s Husky-savvy and able to give him consistent structure, plenty of action, and an environment where he can share affection and play. He’s not yet house trained, so a bit of patience is important, but his loyalty and loving nature make up for it in spades. For anyone craving an outgoing, fun-loving companion, Oscar’s a strong candidate. Ready to roll? Start your journey together! Apply now.
