Description:
Hi, my name is Oscar!
I was found as a stray and ended up at the pound. I'm just getting settled in a my new foster home now.

I'm a nice little boy, around 10 pounds. I look like a doxie with a little longer legs, I prance like a Chihuahua. I think that makes me a "designer dog"! Maybe a Doxchi, or a Choxen....I don't know!

I wasn't very interested in the toys I was offered, but I loved the little chewey treats! I take treats very gently. I'm a friendly little boy, in search of a forever home. Will it be with you?

UPDATE FROM OSCAR'S FOSTER: Oscar (or Ozzie as my daughter calls him) is a fun and very loving dog. He is energetic during the day but will come up for a quick pat on the head or to be picked up and hugged before running off again. He likes to wind between your legs when you are standing, just like a cat. He's not
much into toys except for one ball my daughter has on the end of a string
that he seems to get a kick out of chasing. He snuggles right down with
us on the couch at night and usually falls asleep there.

He has been kenneled at night and has adjusted very well to that. He has pottie training down great, goes right to the door and whines, but is still
marking some. He knows it's wrong because he slinks away when we catch
him so I'm sure this will correct, especially after his neuter. He
absolutely loves going for walks and is great on a leash for my kids.

When the doorbell rings he runs and growls and acts all vicious but then
is eager to be petted. Not once has he snapped at anyone. My kids have had friends over and he has been great. He also gets along great with my dog. He's like a little shadow following me around. He will make a great companion!
