Oscar is a 7 month old mixed Mastiff with big paws and an even bigger heart. After bravely overcoming parvovirus when he first came into care, he has made a full recovery and is now thriving. As a Mastiff mix, he is likely to grow into a very large, handsome boy and is already showing all the goofy, lovable traits of a giant breed puppy.
Oscar loves people and has been great with kids. He gets along well with the dogs in his foster home and brings lots of playful energy to the group. He also met cats as a visitor and was curious but respectful. He is affectionate, social, and happiest when he is included in daily life. He is crated during the day when home alone and is learning that it is a safe space, responding well to positive reinforcement and guidance.
Like most puppies, Oscar is still working on his manners. He can be a bit nippy when excited and enjoys chewing on his toys and the occasional glove, but he redirects easily and has not damaged the home. He is not a fan of the crate at night yet and may protest, and his playful energy means he is still learning when to give other dogs some space. With consistency and training, he continues to make progress.
Oscar's ideal home is one prepared for a growing large breed who will need structure, ongoing training, and positive reinforcement. An active family committed to guiding him through his puppy stage will gain a loyal, loving, and wonderfully fun companion.
