Oskar (D2324)

Collie X.

Wow – what a difference a week (and some love and much deserved tlc) can make. When Oskar first came to SAFE, he was skinny, timid, shy, covered with ticks and a bit unsure about other dogs. Thanks to his wonderful foster carers, everybody has noticed the difference. Oskar's now a healthy, happy, clever, affectionate and loving young pup who is thriving in his foster home. \ He loves just spending time with his foster family and is enjoying learning lots of new commands, including how to sit and drop. Having never been on a lead before, Oskar is now getting the hang of it – but can still be a bit excitable. \ He's a friendly boy who has been spending quite a bit of time with two other dogs (on a regular basis) and they are all getting on well. Just today, Oskar made a new friend with another young puppy on one of his outings.

Oskar loves going to the beach and playing "chasey" with the foam from the waves and making big splashes in the water. At the moment, he thinks that's more fun than chasing a silly ball!!! Oskar loves going in the car – and will try to sit on your lap, but his foster mum is teaching him this is not acceptable (or safe!) behaviour whilst driving.

When he first came to SAFE, Oskar's table manners left a lot to be desired – but now he knows he's getting food on a regular basis, he's happy to eat what he's given without being a bottomless pit and always looking for more.

We're not sure what Oskar is like with kids – but this could be easily and safely tested. As far as cats go – he thinks they'd be okay as playmates – but the cats don't always agree with him.

If you'd like to meet (or learn more about) this handsome and intelligent young man – why don't you give us a call. You're bound to be impressed.
