My story

Joey Junior was rescued from bad living conditions. He was living mostly outside and has not been around many people and was therefore shy. After warming up in his foster home, he is now enjoying the company of other small dogs, treats, chin scratches and gentle head rubs. He enjoys sleeping in a little dog bed and as of now is not a lap dog/bed buddy type of small dog yet. We do not know what he thinks of cats. Joey prefers women and is not so much a fan of men - perhaps something that must have happened in his past. Prior to arriving at OSCAR, Joey had been known to scale a chain link fence so a close eye should be kept on him when in the yard (however since he has been with his foster, there have been no issues with this at all). Joey would do best in a quieter home due to his shyness and would do best in a home with at least one other small dog to help him overcome his shyness. Joey Junior is just 4 years old and 11 pounds. Please help Joey find the loving home he deserves. Update: Joey had tested Lyme+ and has completed his course of antibiotic. He was a champ taking his pill everyday and is feeling/acting great. Joey is ready to go home! **Please note that we have two dogs with similar names. To avoid any confusion or delays, please refer to this dog as JOEY JUNIOR in any correspondence/applications. We do NOT ship our animals. All adoptive families must travel to us to meet their adoptive dog/cat. Applicants must live within a 2 hour radius from Sparta/Andover (07871/07821). Please understand that we are an animal shelter and thus unable to say whether the dogs are housebroken as they are not in homes. If you are interested in adopting, we encourage you to please submit an application on our website today so that we can try and process and pre-approve any potential adopters prior to our next adoption event. PLEASE USE THIS LINK TO SUBMIT AN ADOPTION APPLICATION. WE ONLY ACCEPT ADOPTION APPLICATIONS THROUGH OUR WEBSITE. ANY OTHERS WILL NOT BE PROCESSED. Application link here: http://www.oscaranimalrescue.org/oscar-1-application.html Adoption Process: 1.Fill out an application 2.Meet & Greet 3.Adoption contract & adoption fee Joey's adoption fee is $300. This covers all their age-appropriate shots, microchipping and vetting. **If you are coming to an adoption event to see a certain dog/cat, please email ahead of time to make sure that dog/cat will be there that day. Please email 1-2 days before the event, as some animals are placed during the week and our list is constantly changing.
