Philadelphia, PA Oddball Oscar is
an adorable deaf little wiener dog of about 9 years old who is desperate to
find someone who will love him and understand him, for once! Oscar was
surrendered by his owner’s son because they could no longer care for him.
It’s true, Oscar is DEAF and does have some cataracts, but that doesn’t mean
he is ready for the end! Sheesh! This spunky guy has a lot of living to do
and love to give. In fact, when you take Oscar for a walk, he trots along
like a youngster, leaping up onto steps without a care in the world, ears
flapping in the wind like flags. He really likes to
go for walks and explore what is around him-typical inquisitive Dachshund!
Oscar was tested with cats at the shelter and did pretty well, so he could
probably live with a kitty if you have one at home. He also did OK with
another little dog he met here, but please bring any resident pups you might
have at home in with you to meet Oscar so that we can make sure it is a
perfect match! Oscar can be a little fussy over his food bowl, so we do
recommend feeding him separately. We would also prefer that he go to a home
without children (as they might freak him out with his hearing issue and
impaired vision). An ideal place for this guy would be a nice calm home with
adults who are pretty relaxed but do enjoy getting outside for some fresh and
sight-seeing. Does this sound like you or someone you know? Please share for
Oscar or come and meet him today! Oscar is 8 years
old – deaf but shiny, friendly and just loves people. He does okay with other
dogs. You must be a 501
(c) Rescue to pull him. |
