My story

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

Oatmeal is a handsome 4-year old male Labrador Retriever/Pit Bull Terrier mix who was surrendered by his owner on February 28, 2024.

This good-looking guy has a black short smooth coat with a large patch of white on his chest, white paws, a long tail, and a sweet (rather mischievous-looking) face with expressive brown eyes, a splash of white on his slender muzzle, and short floppy ears.

Oatmeal is a happy boy with an outgoing personality. He was head-over-heels in love with HSOV Kennel Tech Aubrey Hall who helped him with his original photo session late in the afternoon on September 22, 2023. Oatmeal was full of playful energy. He enjoyed running laps around Aubrey and demonstrating his athletic ability to impress Aubrey. Oatmeal excels in high jumping (who needs a trampoline when you have natural talent?) But what Oatmeal enjoyed most of all was the attention which Aubrey bestowed upon him .. He literally hugged her in return for her kindness. Oatmeal also has a cute sense of humor and teasingly stuck his tongue out in several of his close-up facial photos.

Oatmeal weighed 47 lbs when he entered our shelter, and we remarked that he could easily gain a few pounds to fill out his slim trim physique.

Oatmeal weighed 62.6 lbs on November 9, 2023. He was neutered on November 14, 2023 and was also given rabies vaccine.

Oatmeal was adopted from HSOV on February 2, 2024 and enjoyed that home for a month or so, but he was returned on February 28, 2024 because he was not good with children.

Oatmeal is good cats and other dogs Since he does not do well with children, Oatmeal is looking for a terrific home with an adult family that he would not have to share with children.

These updated photos of Oatmeal were taken on March 3, 2024 when HSOV Kennel Tech Emily Beaver accompanied him outdoors on a bright sunny afternoon. Oatmeal is an affectionate playful young man who loved attention from Emily and gave us some very cute poses. Oatmeal is a sweet boy who sat beautifully when asked 'to sit pretty'.

UPDATE: Oatmeal went home with a foster family on May 21, 2024 who plans to adopt him if all goes well.
