Oscar - Labrador Retriever and Cane Corso Dog for Adoption in Grand Rapids, Michigan

Meet Oscar! This big, lovable goofball is somehow just over 7 months old and already pushing nearly 60lbs and he has absolutely no idea what to do with all of it, in the best way possible. This Cane Corso Lab mix came to us with one mission: to be absolutely everyone's best friend, and he is crushing it.

Oscar is the life of the party when it comes to other dogs, a true social butterfly who is ready to run, wrestle, and play play play then crash hard on the couch! He loves a good game of fetch and has discovered that swimming is basically the greatest thing ever invented.

Don't let the puppy energy fool you, this boy has brains to match his enthusiasm! Oscar is already potty trained, crate trained, and has sit, down, leave it, and come in his repertoire (most of the time, he's 7 months old, cut him some slack). He loves kids and adults alike, and his idea of a perfect day is making sure absolutely nobody feels left out. Need a walking buddy to hit the trails with? Oscar's in. Road trip coming up? He'll be snoozing in the backseat before you hit the highway. Planning a camping trip? Pack an extra sleeping bag because this guy is coming and he will absolutely be stealing it.

Because Oscar's enthusiasm for new friends knows absolutely no bounds, he would love a family willing to enroll him in a basic manners class to know when not everyone wants to be his best friend. He's got all the smarts to be a star student, he just needs a little help understanding that not everyone is quite ready for his level of excitement right away (his heart is in the right place, we promise!). Oscar would thrive in a home that loves to be active and has space for a growing boy to stretch out If you're ready for a loyal, fun-loving, swim-happy snuggle bug, Oscar is your guy. Oscar is neutered, microchipped, and current on his vaccines. His adoption fee is $275 and you can apply at www.rescueofhope.com/adopt/.
