Story
Oscar Located in western Nebraska5 years oldPurebred Shih TzuNO CHILDRENDog selective, would likely be fine with 1 other calm dog his size No catsHouse trained Crate trained and knows basic commands Leash trained and LOVES walksDOES NOT SHARE FOOD Fully vetted12lbs approx This is Oscar and Oscar is an owner surrender. You see as his family grew and he aged from a baby to a little man he decided that kids just weren’t his deal. In fact if he could take a HARD PASS on tiny humans he would. Along with his growing intolerance to tiny unpredictable humans and they chaos that follows them, he also became very agitated with some of the various other dogs in the household. He absolutely adores his Pug brother but he could take or leave, mostly leave, the other canines. As a result we are looking for a CALM home for Oscar. A home without children and maybe 1 other dog his size on the calmer side. While we believe that some of his angst with the other canine siblings in the home may be a ripple result of the small human & their chaos issues, there is no way to know for sure. In order to set both parties up for success we are adamant about these stipulations.   Oscar is a sweet lil man who has come into who he is and, like all of us, has changed a bit along his journey. Oscar is a WONDERFUL dog, who deserves a WONDERFUL home that respects his desire for a more zen environment. Oscar isn’t old, he isn’t even a senior, he is in the prime of his life, he just needs a partner in crime to experience it with.

Further all our brachycephalic dogs MUST vet at an AAHA certified vet, (unless you know your vet is well versed in Brachys), this is because of their extreme vet needs. Brachycephalic dogs are extremely expensive dogs to upkeep so please bare that in mind when applying and make sure you're in a financial place to take it on. $400.00 Adoption Fee (Which is considered a non refundable donation and being we are a 501c3 organization it is tax deductible. The fee itself is not negotiable, our vets don't negotiate and thus neither do we.)  Fully vetted means, altered, up to date on vaccines, HW tested if applicable and on flea/tick preventative (chemical or natural, aka sans buggies)  WE DO NOT HAVE A FACILITY ALL OUR DOGS ARE LOCATED IN FOSTER HOMES. This means there is no place for you to go in person to view our dogs. We ask that an application be filled out and we will go from there! We do ALLOW out of state adoptions, HOWEVER the adopter MUST pick the dog up in person and DRIVE or FLY (IN CABIN ONLY) the dog back at the adopters expense. We do NOT coordinate transport.  ##1614074##
