This special little lad is Oscar – Ozzie to his friends, who sadly had to come into care due to no fault of his own.

Oscar, is your typical sassy terrier boy, who likes life his way and we are here to serve his every need! Once he knows you, he is super friendly. He adores to be with you and loves going on short and slow adventures. He will climb up onto your knee for fusses, cuddles and kisses! When Oscar knows you he doesn't know what personal space is!!

However he can be shy around new people and come across as ignorant - he will just ignore you but after a few meets he usually gets used to you! So his new family must be willing to visit a few times to say hello. For this reason we also think Oscar would be better living in a quieter home with older teens if any children who can give him the time and space when needed. Oscar is very clear with his signals when he’s unhappy so it’s important that his family learn and listen to these!

Oscar will happily walk with other calm pooches but he isn't a fan of giddy in your face dogs - after all he is an older lad now! So we are looking for a home where he will be the only pet. Ozzie is on daily medication and will be for the rest of his life due to his osteoarthritis and so his new family will need to be comfortable and understand this. Sadly this isn’t something that will get better and Oscar will likely need more support for this the older he gets but right now he is as happy as can be and managing well!

We are looking to place Oscar in a foster to adopt home initially to help him transition so we are looking for a home more local to our rehoming centre.
