Oscar

My story

We were contacted by our wonderful partners at Pet Country Market Beamsville after hearing about Oscar’s story, and we couldn’t turn away. A long-time customer shared her concerns after spotting Oscar several times near her cottage in Campbellford, ON. Oscar had been purchased as a puppy by a young neighbour but sadly spent his nights chained outside, with no doghouse, bed, or toys. During the day, he was left to roam freely and has even been spotted walking on thin ice. With bears, coyotes, and winter approaching, her heart broke every time this sweet boy would come over just to say “hi” and get some attention when he realized there was someone nearby. Determined to help, she gently approached Oscar’s owner and asked if he would surrender him, so someone could find him the loving home he truly deserves. Thanks to her compassion, Oscar is now safe! 🙏 Oscar is a 9-month-old Maremma Sheepdog mix, neutered & up to date on vaccines, heartworm & tick fever negative. He’s very gentle, kid-friendly and house trained. He’s also good on walks, has good recall and knows basic commands. Oscar is currently working with a professional dog trainer to continue building his skills and become the best version of himself. Because of his rough start and having to look after himself outdoors, Oscar is not a fan of cats. He’s done well with the three dogs in his foster home, though he can be a bit selective with other dogs — just like many pups learning how to socialize. Oscar already found his first angel who rescued him from a dangerous situation. Now he’s waiting for his second miracle: a forever family who will give him a warm bed, toys, safety, and the unconditional love he’s always deserved. Could Oscar be the missing piece in your family?
