We adopted Oscar from another family who was moving and could not take Oscar with them. Oscar is a sweet dog, loves to be around people and to be outside. As he is aging, he needs more trips outside daily than we can support while we are at work and school. He passionately dislikes his kennel but unfortunately we have to kennel him during the day or he will have accidents in the house. Someone who is retired and /or home to let him out often will provide him a much better life for his last few years. He is a good snuggler and good with kids, has been very patient with mine!
