Description:
This is Oscar, the pbgv .  I can honestly say Oscar is very submissive and timid!!  I have seen no food aggression with him, but he does need to be reminded to take food from your hand with the word "easy".  He does not bite at all, but will put his teeth on your fingers when taking a treat.  He has learned to sit is a line with the other dogs for treats and wait his turn.  He gets along with all the other dogs here from 10 pounds to 146 pounds.  He wants to interact with the other dogs, but that takes time for him to feel very safe with them.  He has tried to play tug of war with a rope toy, but if the other dogs growls at all, Oscar lets go and quits playing.  He loves attention and will follow you from one room to the other just to stay close.  He no longer has any problem with his crate training and will go to his crate with the command "Go to your room" and then pointing at the crate.  He still eats in his "room" as he tends to eat quickly and would attempt to get into the other dogs bowls.  I can reach into his crate and remove his food without any problems or add other food to his bowl while he is eating.  It appears that Oscar was abused at some point and is very uncertain of how you are going to treat him when you reach for him, but never any aggression, simply cowers and submissive.  He has been shot with a bee bee gun at some point in time, as I can feel the bee bee just under his skin on his back near his hind end.  They do not appear to bother him and have never been removed. Oscar is just a great cute problem free smaller dog !!

 

Last Day Dog Rescue now microchips all animals before adoption. Microchips are implanted between the animals shoulder blades and are a permanent form of identification. The microchips are registered to Last Day Dog Rescue with the adopter's info added once adopted. If the animal is ever lost and slips his/her collar/tags the microchip allows the finder to know who to contact if scanned for a microchip. Animals MUST still have a collar with tags on at all times. Per our contract, we take all our animals back if for any reason you can't keep your adopted animal.

Please understand the statements about this animal are based upon the foster home's evaluation of the animal. The animal might behave differently (negatively or positively) in your home. While the animal might be good with the current foster’s dogs, cats, children, etc., it may not be with your animal(s) or children. The animal may be housebroken or litter trained in the home of the foster but may relapse in your home. The animal is represented to the public as it performs in the foster home and any statements made regarding the animal are conditional to that foster home setting. Please understand that statements made regarding this animal are simply overviews and are not guaranteed.

The Petfinder.com system requires that we choose a predominant breed or breed mix for our animals. Visual breed identification in animals is unreliable so for most of the animals we are only guessing at predominant breed or breed mix. We get to know each animal as an individual and will do our best to describe each of our animals based on personality, not by breed label.

Thank you for looking through our list of animals needing forever homes and choosing rescue first. We appreciate you stopping by.
