My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Oscar is a special boy with special requirements. If you are looking for an energetic, playful, sweet, affectionate, eager to please, intelligent and loyal dog, then he may just be your perfect companion. If you don’t have time to walk him, or a yard for him to play in, if you don’t have the patience or the means to work with him and resolve some behavioral issues, then please consider another dog. We love Oscar so much, and are devastated that he cannot be a part of our family any longer. I would do anything to make sure he finds the right family, and the right family finds him.
I’ve recently acquired an illness that makes it impossible for me to devote any extra time or energy to training or behavior issues. Unfortunately, Oscar has them. Barking, territorial, aggressive towards strangers, especially men. I wish I knew what happened to him before we adopted him. He has so much to give, but he needs the right person to help him find a way let his guard down and be happy.
