Story
Meet Handsome Oscar!Oscar is an active, sweet, and lovable husky with a heart full of resilience and charm. He was found running through a southern neighborhood with a broken leg but has made an incredible recovery. After six weeks in a splint, he’s back on his feet, ready for fun, with only a slight limp that should improve over time. Best of all, he has no limitations on his activities!Oscar loves to stay close to his people. His favorite spot during the day is under his foster mom’s desk while she works. He’s a fan of cozy spaces and often naps under or behind furniture. Although crate-trained and happy to use it occasionally, Oscar prefers choosing his own comfy spots to rest.This handsome guy is housetrained with a doggie door, though he’s still learning not to chew on non-dog items. He’ll need supervision and a good supply of chew toys to help him stay on track.Oscar can be skittish around new people, barking and keeping his distance at first. He warms up with time and patience, preferring calm introductions at eye level. Once he feels secure, he’s a snuggle champion who adores petting and attention. He’s not a fan of loud noises but otherwise thrives in a loving, stable environment.Great with other dogs and kids...as fosters grandchildren (1, 3, 7) are with him almost daily and frequently overnight. He enjoys romping around with both his canine foster siblings and the kids, although he can be a bit of a roughhouser when he’s having fun. He’s also learning the art of fetch—he’ll happily retrieve a toy but isn’t quite sure what to do with it yet!Oscar is a sweet, playful soul who just wants to love and be loved. If you have some husky breed experience and are ready for an affectionate companion with a zest for life, Oscar is your guy!Name: OscarBreed: HuskySex: MaleAge: 10 months (estimated)Weight: 50.0Spayed/Neutered: YesVaccinations: Up to dateHeartworm: Negative on recent testingMicrochipped: YesBASED ON OUR OBSERVATIONS:Good with Children: YesGood with Dogs: YesGood with Cats: YesAdoption Fee: $500.00 (includes transport fee when applicable)Location of dog currently: Memphis TN IMPORTANT INFORMATION - Paws New England is a foster-based rescue - our dogs reside in various locations throughout the south and New England.
