Oscar - In BDRA Foster Care



Name: Oscar
Sex: Male (altered)
Age: 7 years
Breed: Toy Poodle
Location: Western Mass.

Vet Info: Oscar is confirmed neutered.  He is up to date on his rabies and distemper vaccines, and is next due for a rabies vaccine on 4/16/14.  He is also next due for the distemper vaccine in 2014.  Oscar is heartworm negative and weighs 8 pounds.  He does have some allergies and requires a quality diet.  Per his owner, his kneecap apparently has "floated" and he is currently on supplements.

Owner Info: Oscar is a completely blind toy poodle who was adopted two years ago his owner.  At that time she was well prepared to take on a special needs dog. Unfortunately, since that time she has become unable to work.  Now, over a year has gone by, she feels that this is an unfair situation for Oscar, no matter how much she loves him. She'd love it if he could find someone that has more resources to make sure that he gets everything in life that he needs and very much deserves!  Oscar is an indoor dog with run of the house, he is housebroken and leash trained, however in a new place where he doesn't know his way around, he may have an accident.  Oscar is good with people of all ages, both male and female dogs, and cats.  He is not possessive of toys, treats, or food, and has never shown any aggression. Oscar is very attached to his owner and will get uncomfortable in new places/situations where she is not present. He bonded with her very quickly, and she believes that he will do the same if able to find the right person who is able to give him the time and devotion necessary. His owner adds, "Though it kills me to do have to do this, with my health preventing me to return to work anytime within the near future I must consider my ability to provide Oscar with all that he needs and leaving him shorthanded just is not option. He amazes me with his spirit and zest for life despite his "shortcomings" and has been an inspiration for me to keep moving forward everyday despite my own troubles."
