Story
Sex: MaleBreed: Lhasa Apso Estimated Date of Birth : 09/18/2012We’re just going to come right out and say it cause really there’s no sugar coating what we have to say….Oscar is a grouch! He’s a grumpy old man that will very unkindly show you his displeasure if you want him to do something he has no desire to do or if you attempt to pick him up. His grumpiness can involve his teeth. With that out in the open we know there’s some of you who like the grouchy old souls. You can work around the grumpiness and bring out the best in these dogs. And Oscar’s grouchiness does come with a sweet side. He’s very affectionate with pets and love. He’ll give tiny little kisses and LOVES butt scratches. He just doesn’t want to do what he doesn’t want to do in his old age. Oscar was part of a group of 13 senior pups who lost their long time rescuer when she went on hospice. She was no longer able to care for her animals and they all needed a soft place to land. All 13 are now in foster care with us and waiting for loving forever homes. Oscar is part of this crew and we are hopeful we can find him the perfect understanding home that will love him grumpiness and all. How have we worked around Oscar’s grumpy side? With tools of course! We’re never going to change this senior pup so we’ve added things to make handling him easier when handling is a must. He’s sporting a harness with a handle that makes maneuvering him so much easier. Less stress on him means less negative behavior. He’s great with other dogs, although probably wouldn’t love puppy energy, and could definitely live in a multi dog home. His house training manners while not perfect aren’t horrible and he’s perfect and quiet when crated. Behavior aside he has a pretty chill and easy personality. We’re hopeful there’s someone out there willing to give even a grump the loving home he deserves to have. Are you that person? If you are Oscar the Grouch is ready to meet you!
