Meet Oscar – The Snuggly, Goofy Boxer Looking for His Forever Couch! 🐾 Located in Bellingham, WA

We never thought we’d be writing this, but life threw us a curveball (an 11th-hour surprise baby!) and Oscar, our affectionate, wiggly-butt best friend, is not a fan of kids. So, with very heavy hearts, we’re looking for the perfect family for him. A big bonus if that family is local and we could occasionally see him.

✨ About Oscar:

5.5-year-old male Boxer
Neutered, vaccinated, healthy, and always on heartworm/flea/tick prevention
Happy, full of that waggly boxer personality, likes long walks on the beach and snuggles, tug-o-war is his jam
Recently graduated from an 8-week board & train program at K9 Handler Dynamics in Lynden, WA - who will provide Oscar's new family with a hands-on lesson to help Oscar continue his good behaviors.
Dog-reactive but successfully passes other dogs on walks without causing drama if you use his e-collar judiciously.
🏡 Oscar’s Ideal Home:

Adults only (kids are scary, unpredictable monsters in his book)
No other dogs (he likes being the star of the show).
Probably no cats… unless you want to see him try out for the squirrel-chasing Olympics
✅ Why Oscar Rocks:

Fantastic manners include: sit, down, “place,” drop-it, walks nicely on a leash, and waits for permission to eat food and exit doors like a gentleman
Stays off furniture unless invited up (he’s polite like that!)
Loves daily walks but will then chill at home while you’re out adulting
Crate trained: It's his happy place!
Not a chewer or destructive in any way.
Greets guests with a waggly butt when given the OK
Not an incessant barker - may alert you when someone is at the front door, if he's not sleeping!
Comes with allll his stuff including crate, many toys, dishes, multiple beds, winter coat, life jacket, long and short leashes, etc.
Oscar is goofy, loyal, and will make you laugh and love every single day. If you’re looking for a well-trained, affectionate companion who thinks squirrels are arch-nemeses, Oscar might just be your guy.
