Full Weight: 14.5 lbs Height: 12 in Spayed/Neutered: Yes Adoption Fee: $1 - Oscar is priceless Fence needed? No What kind of home would be best for me? Meet Oscar De La Hoya! While our Oscar shares his name with the famous fighter, he’s far more of a lover than a fighter. Oscar will need his adopter to dote on him and make him the center of your life. Why - Oscar has a few special needs: he is vision-impaired and can barely hear. Because of this, he’ll need an adopter who will be patient and make him the center of their world. He thrives on attention, and his favorite things are soaking up the sun and being lavished with love. Though he may not be able to see or hear well, he still finds joy in the simple pleasures of life. Oscar has an old soul and would be happiest in a quiet home. Whether you're a single person, a couple, or a family, he will thrive in an environment where he’s the only dog and the king of the castle. Oscar is very sweet with people, but he prefers to be the only pet. He doesn’t enjoy the company of other dogs or cats, so he needs to be the center of attention. This boy wants nothing more than a lap to sit in and a ray of sun to soak up! What is my personality like? Oscar may be a senior, but he still has a lot of life and love to give. While he may be a bit tentative at first due to his vision impairment, all he really wants is to be with people. His disabilities can make new situations and unfamiliar people a little overwhelming, but once he gets to know you, he’ll want all the love and attention you can give him. If you can provide Oscar with the love and care he deserves, he will return your affection tenfold and bring an abundance of joy and love into your life How do I act when I first meet new people? Oscar may not run up to greet you right away due to his vision impairment. But if you approach him slowly and let him sniff your hand, he’ll be more than happy to accept your affection. Once he’s comfortable, he’ll hop up and down, eager for more love and attention. He’s a sweetheart who just wants to be surrounded by warmth and care.
