Here's what the humans have to say about me:
This handsome fellow is back! He was adopted by a wonderful family last fall, but unfortunately it just wasn't the right fit for either of them. He was originally found stray by a good Samaritan and it was evident that he hadn't been well cared for. But Oscar doesn't hold a grudge. His former life doesn't seem to have had any effect on his very friendly and super goofy hound dog personality. We think he's a 3-4 year old Treeing Walker Coonhound or maybe American Foxhound, possibly purebred by the look of him.
Oscar is all hound and loves to run and play. He has a good deal of energy to expend, too and needs daily outdoor exercise time to be happy. He loves to chase tennis balls and just flat out run in that goofy hound way, so he'd love a home that has a big fenced in yard for him to enjoy. Because of his activity level, apartment living probably isn't for him. He also enjoys the company of other dogs, and does great in doggie daycare, but his real love is people. He's very affectionate and loyal, traits typical of hounds. He'll follow you everywhere and look at you with those beautiful, expressive eyes just wanting you to love him. He has shown to be too much for younger children, being too exhuberant for them, so a home with older kids or teens would best.
Oscar's ideal family would include people who love hound dogs for what they are: active, playful, loyal companions that love to spend time outdoors and with their "pack." A fenced in yard will also be a requirement for Oscar. Going on walks is great, but he loves to run! He has been trained to run alongside a bike, so if you are interested in biking with this guy, we'd be happy to show you how. It's a fantastic way to drain some of the energy.
