My story

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

We’re flabbergasted. Is it the holiday chaos or everyone’s traveling that’s got Oscar flying under the radar? One thing’s for sure, this charming little dude deserves some serious love. Oscar Everyone who lays eyes on Oscar can’t help but gush over his chiseled features and soulful peepers. This 17-lb, 4-5 year old neutered male “Chiweenie” mix was picked up as a stray and spent a month in the shelter before making his way to GLAR. Initially, he was terrified in the shelter and took some time to warm up in his foster home. But once he shed his fears, his personality started shining brighter than a diamond. His foster discovered that while Oscar may not be thrilled about new people touching his head, he’s a total softie when it comes to chest and neck pets – and he’ll even guide your hand to his favorite spots. This little foodie is all about the snacks, and his love for grub makes him super receptive to learning new tricks. Oscar gets along swimmingly with other dogs, but he’s a bit of a diva and likes being the center of attention, so he might be happiest in a home without another furry friend. He’s untested around cats or kiddos. Men can be a bit intimidating for him at first, but with some patience, he’ll learn to love them too. Oscar sleeps like a rock in his crate, enjoys leisurely strolls on a leash, sprinting around the backyard, chow time, and plenty of snoozes. He’s a bit of a homebody and prefers to potty outside, but on rainy days, he’s happy to use a pad inside. As a recently neutered adult male, he still has some of that marking instinct, so his foster keeps a belly band on him for now. We’re on the hunt for a small, quiet household for Oscar. During his shelter stint, his head movements raised some eyebrows. After getting a clean bill of health, he paid a visit to UC Davis for a neurology consult. The vets think he might have a congenital issue that can’t be treated with meds, but that doesn’t mean he can’t live life to the fullest. He’s also got some impaired hearing in the lower ranges. When Oscar gets anxious or super excited, his quirks become more apparent, but overall, he’s a happy-go-lucky pup with tons of love to give. TL/DR: Neutered male | Dachshund x Chihuahua | 17 lbs | 4-5 years old | Microchipped | vaccinated
