My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:



Hi! My name is Oscar and I'm a super sweet and gentle giant. I have a wonderful personality and I like to take long walks with my people. I would love a home where I could sleep in on a huge, comfy bed! I would make the perfect, well mannered companion to a laid-back person. I will tell you that I prefer people to pups, and I'd be happy with some nice tasty food and a good couch to watch tv on. Please come down to the shelter because I'd love to get to know you and find my forever home!

Thanks to a generous donor, my adoption fees have been paid! Learn more about our Adopt It Forward program!



I am available for adoption from my foster home! To learn more about meeting me, email adoptions@alexandriaanimals.org or call 703.746.4774, option 2.
