Oscar Mayer

Whos tiny, white, curly, and extra fluffy? Well, thats Oscar for you! Oscar is a great boy who is learning the ways of the world. We estimate him to be about 3 years old. His tiny size comes from his Maltese Chihuahua roots, if we're going off of his good looks. Breed is never guaranteed in rescue; all we can do is guess! Oscar is about 15 pounds of pure lap dog, though. Regardless of breed, these dogs are one of a kind. But especially Oscar!

Oscar is currently in a loving foster home where he is fostered with other small dogs of his likeness – seven dogs at that! He is having a great time learning all about toys, treats, and all things good. It's been a pleasure to see him blossom into a playful little guy. One of his foster siblings is 19 years old, and Oscar makes sure he is gentle with her, never bothering her and taking corrections well. He is so funny; him and his siblings often play musical bowls, sharing their food at each mealtime with no issues. They just move from one to the other. Sharing is caring!

Oscar is the type of guy that likes to take things slow and doesn't move too fast on the first date. Earning his loyalty and trust is something that makes you feel so special. That's why Oscar is so unique; if he loves you, he falls hard for you, and he's a loyal little guy! His foster trusts him to free roam in the house and he sleeps in bed with her at night. What a little cuddle bug! Oscar often finds himself on anything soft like the couch or his cozy dog bed on the floor. He doesn't mind snuggling up with his new siblings, and he's always sitting on the porch with them enjoying the evening sounds. He will be your perfect morning coffee buddy, watching you make breakfast in the kitchen and sitting outside enjoying the nice sunrise with you, or sunset! Oscar isn't picky, but you can tell that he is so thankful to be saved. We believe Oscar would be best in a home with a yard only because he loves being outside so much. His foster will always find him in the shady spot underneath her sunflowers or following around the blue jays that she feeds. Sounds like it's straight out of a movie! It almost seems like he is enjoying all of the little things that he didn't have before he came to us.

Although we haven't seen Oscar with kids just yet, we do believe the older kids would be best for this guy only because of his timidness. Like we said, he prefers to take things slow, and he would love a life with a routine and calmness. Gentleness is the best thing about Oscar, and he just craves peacefulness. Older kiddos that can understand and respect his boundaries would be best! We have not seen him with kitties either, but we do believe that Oscar would be alright with a cat only because of his size. Eventually, he may want to play, so we're not recommending a home with just one kitty, but kitties and dogs alike would be fine. If you would like us to cat test him, please just say the word, and we would be happy to help!

Ideal Home

Oscar would be best in a home with a yard as he loves being outside. He would do well with older children who can understand and respect his boundaries due to his timidness. Oscar would also be alright with cats, but if you have a cat, we can cat test him first.
