Hi, I'm Oscar!
Quiet home. Adult humans. One or two favorite people — that’s my dream.
I need a little time to trust and I’m not into being picked up by strangers, but once you’re my person? I’m a cuddle guy and will choose you every time. I prefer calm spaces, no little kids, and people who respect my boundaries over food and toys.
I lost my home when my owner lost her apartment — kinda bad luck since trust is hard for me. I’d be an amazing companion for someone retired or living a peaceful life who wants a loyal, deeply bonded best friend.
Patient hearts only please — but, I’m worth it.
Age: 5 years
Weight: 18 lbs
Temperament: Gets along with other dogs, patient adults, no small kids
Training: Housetrained, crate-trained, has basic training
Vetting: Neutered, up-to-date on vaccines, heartworm negative
__
To ensure we're meeting both pet and adopters' needs, we ask potential adopters to complete an Adoption Application ( www.bit.ly/DH-Adoption ) for caretakers to review. Once your application is approved, we will bring the adoptable pet to your home for a preliminary visit.
We are 100% donation-funded and our fees are equivalent to (or less than) the cost to fully vet a new dog yourself. Please expect an adoption fee of $300; some of our urgent or long-term dogs have discounted fees.

Submit Application
We are 100% volunteer/foster based, so we do ask that you complete an adoption application in order for us to schedule a phone interview.
Interview
After reviewing your application, we'll contact you to determine if dog is a good fit for your lifestyle and home.
Approve Application
We check vet and personal references to ensure previous dogs were well cared for, so please be thorough in providing this info.
Home Check
This enables the dog to get to know you and your home and for us to suggest anything they may need to be successful in your home.

You would also pay the fee at this time, however, we offer a 2 week trial period before cashing your check. We will always take dogs back.
