This morning Oscar wagged his tail for the first time! We were so excited! He has also developed a passion for Tuna in oil and thanks to the many kind donations we have received, we are able to buy him plenty of cans!
We moved him to a separate pen this morning where he can have privacy from the other dogs and plenty of shade from the sun (sorry all you folks struggling through the snow – it’s extremely hot here today!). I was standing behind Oscar’s pen petting another shelter dog when I felt hot breath on the back of my neck and had that feeling of being watched. I turned around and came face to face with Oscar. Huh??? Oscar is not a very big dog and the wall he was looking over is almost 6 feet tall. Investigation by Andy found Oscar standing on tippy toes on the roof of his doghouse. Too funny…..and no camera!!
Saturday’s dogwash brought many visitors to the shelter. All were saddened to see poor Oscar. He was completely oblivious to the comings and goings and seemed totally unware of all the people who paid him a vist. Many were concerned as they watched him struggle to stand and take a few steps.
Does he feel a little better today? Yes, we think so!

Thank You!
My heart continues to go out, all the way from Maine, to this handsome, handsome boy. Thank you so much for the update, as I think of him often and wonder how he’s doing.
Thank you Lisa, Oscar is doing really well at the moment. Once he is strong enough he will be neutered and we will also test him for heart worm. If all goes well, he will be available for adoption to a very special home.
