Oscar is a sweet, goofy German Shorthaired Pointer and Hound mix who loves the outdoors. He enjoys long walks, exploring, and chasing balls, sticks, and rabbits. Oscar appreciates personal boundaries and independence, and when his anxiety is low, his playful personality shines. He would love an active person or couple who will treat him like family while respecting his need for space.
