About Oscar
Oscar is a 12-year-old, small Mini Schnauzer with a mellow soul. His favorite things are naps, slow strolls, and gathering few treats throughout the day. Oscar had a stable, loving home for years, but is now searching for a new family after his owner's health declined. Even at his age, he's housebroken and gets along easily with dogs and cats—no drama, just steady companionship. He hasn't spent much time around children in foster, but was described as kid-friendly before arriving. You'll find Oscar vocal about important things—like the doorbell—but otherwise easygoing and gentle. His wiry coat needs regular brushing and grooming, which he tolerates well and even enjoys; bathing and brushing at home is no trouble. Oscar is neutered, microchipped, vaccinated, and up to date on testing. Recent labs show healthy results for a senior, with just mildly high kidney numbers, which his vet is watching. He takes seizure medication and trazodone without resistance (toss the pills in a treat, no worries). Oscar would fit well with a person seeking a calm, affectionate companion who appreciates the quiet rhythms of senior dog life. They are ready to love you; are you ready to apply?
