Oscar

Oscar is a five year old, male, Cross Breed who’s loving and is looking for his forever home. He has an irregular heartbeat which is controlled with medication. Oscar is fully house-trained and understands a few commands. He’s been used to living with a pack of dogs but this often leads to reactive behaviour and stress for Oscar. He would suit an adult family with no smaller pets. Please enquire. . • Oscar is neutered, fully vaccinated, and microchipped. • He has an irregular heartbeat which is treated with half a Sotophor daily. This was diagnosed over two years ago and is controlled with medication - the vet has no further concerns. • When left alone in the house, Oscar will sleep. • At home with Oscar, he’s usually either wanting to play or is sleeping. Very rarely he can be reactive if he hears barking or a strange noise. • He enjoys playing in the garden with the other dogs but it can cause problems with his reactivity. • Oscar reacts when someone is at the front door and will bark. • He has one meal a day in the evening. He has shredded carrots and rice on top of Jollyes Life stage and usually a squirt of salmon oil. He also has two tablespoons of dog food from a tin (which his medication is hidden in). This is all mixed up with a tablespoon of fat free Greek yoghurt (he loves this). Has a chew once a week. • Oscar will sit calmly whilst waiting for his food. • He’s fully house trained. • Oscar hasn’t had obedience training but does understand the commands: sit, stay, come here, and leave it. • He has a walk a couple of times a week and behaves well on his lead. • Oscar has been used to living in a pack of ten dogs and hasn’t been around other dogs but seems fine when on a visit to the vets. • He hasn’t lived with or been used to visiting children. Oscar reacts to jumping and loud noises such as shouting. • Oscar has lived with cats but they had to be kept away from the pack. • He has a high prey drive for small animals. • Oscar hates the vets (due to a previous painful experience) and needs to be muzzled.
