Oscar prefers a quiet, cozy life and will happily spend hours on his big foam bed. He’d be a good match for someone looking for an easygoing companion who enjoys a slow pace. Oscar survived some tough times after being abandoned with only a garbage can for shelter and losing his canine friend; it’s left him with a gentle spirit that volunteers call 'the sweetest of hounds.' He likes to offer you his paw, even though it’s twisted from an old injury, and walks politely on a leash despite the discomfort. Oscar will eventually need fusion surgery on his left front leg so he can live without pain, but right now he needs to gain a bit more weight before that’s possible. He’s estimated to be between six and seven years old, right on the cusp of seniorhood. Oscar isn’t much for the company of other dogs and prefers to be the only dog in the household. He’s working on house training and loves nothing more than lounging near his people. Every animal deserves a happy ending. This one starts with you.
