Hi, I’m Oscar! Tall legs, cute face, 22 pounds of charm. I’m 8 years old and a Chihuahua mix with a heart that just wants a fresh start.
I’ll be honest: I’m shy at first (especially with men), but win me over with patience and snacks, and I’ll be your most loyal sidekick. I’m house-trained, love quiet walks, ride like a champ in the car, and I’m discovering the joy of Starbucks pup cups. I also get Zoomies with a toy in my mouth when it’s dinner time. I sing when my foster mom asks if I want to go out. My foster mom says if she didn’t have to travel so much I would be home.
Looking for: a kind, patient person who can help me feel safe and loved. In return, I’ll be your affectionate, well-behaved best friend.
Will you be my hero?
Good with - walking, nail trims, being left alone, rolling over to get belly rubs
Not Good with - Other dogs

More about this rescue
Forever Loved Pet Sanctuary (FLPS) is the only senior-only animal rescue in Maricopa County, Arizona. Formed in 2012 as a non-profit 501[c][3] organization, the focus of FLPS is to save senior animals who are often overlooked by providing them the opportunity to thrive in a safe and caring environment. FLPS serves a public need by offering housing to a limited number of senior pets.
This safe haven, takes the burden of temporary care and housing of senior animals off of local shelters. Inevitably, local shelters resort to euthanizing these abandoned, senior animals at an alarming rate. According to a 2012 statistics report, Maricopa County Animal Care and Control (MCACC) euthanizes one animal every eight minutes it is open to the public. Euthanasia for senior residents is the primary option for most local shelters because they tend to focus their efforts on a high adoption model that includes younger “more adoptable” animals. FLPS works with local shelters and rescues to identify the senior animals in need and provide a streamlined process for interested men, women and families who wish to adopt.
