Oscar - Chihuahua Dog for Adoption in Buffalo, Minnesota

Location: Lake Norden, SD

Hello, I'm Oscar. I am a very fearful little dog, rescued from a difficult situation, and I am looking for a definitive, very patient home to help me heal.

Living in a busy or noisy environment is completely overwhelming for me, which is why a calm home without young children is essential. I need a family that understands deep-seated fear, gives me my own space, and has the infinite patience required to learn how to slowly trust people.

I still struggle a lot to manage my fear in everyday situations: I tend to run away when someone tries to grab me, and if I feel cornered, I curl up into a ball and can even urinate or defecate out of pure terror. Because of this, I am looking for someone with prior experience handling severe fears who understands my body language and will lovingly guide me through my rehabilitation process.

Do you have a calm space, a big heart, and the patience for a scared little dog like me?

*Originated from: Shelter in South Dakota.
