Oscar - Boxer Dog for Adoption in Davis, California

Oscar is truly a gentle gem! Oscar is very social and loves people and other dogs. He would love a family where someone is home with him most of the day and even better if they have another dog or two for him to play with. He enjoys short walks and would like a place to get his zoomies out. At his foster home, he has a small backyard and large loft area in the house, where he does this. He learned the routine at his foster home quickly with gentle guidance. He is so smart, potty trained and knows lots of commands already. He clearly wants to please! He is very affectionate. He had some ear issues in the past so he doesnt enjoy having his ears touched, but once you have his earned his trust he will let you pet his head and give him kisses.

He walks perfectly on a leash, is great in the car and loves toys, especially the squeaky ones! He would love a family where he can cuddle up on the couch and chill.
