About This Dog

Oscar's ideal home

We introduce to you twelve-year-old Oscar the mini-Dachshund. He is looking for a new home. Since he has excellent history around young children, he can share his home with upper preschool aged children. He is nervous around other dogs and is looking to be the only dog in the home. He has no history around cats, small furries, or livestock. Oscar is housetrained; he will let you know when he needs to go so you will need to watch for his cues. He travels well in the car. Oscar could cope with a reasonably busy home environment. He does not like being left alone at home and is looking for as much company as possible. Time left alone will need to be built up gradually.

Could you be Oscar's perfect match?

Oscar is a sweet senior gent who will faithfully bond with the people he spends time with the most. When you first meet him, he may appear aloof but once you are besties he will come and snuggle with you on the sofa, sit on your lap, and soak up all the fuss on offer. Oscar enjoys toy play, he likes soft toys, squeaky toys, and chasing after a ball. Oscar will make you laugh when he gets the zoomies around the home! Oscar enjoys his walks on the beaches and in the countryside. He does not mind walking through a muddy puddle or dipping his paws in water. He would benefit from having calm, gentle dogs who will ignore him to walk alongside to build up his confidence with being around other dogs. He likes dog biscuits and meaty sticks as a reward. He has good recall, and he knows a paw and wait.
