Meet Oscar
Breed: Huntaway/German Shepherd
Barking from: Levin
What's up dog?
Oscar is a rescue dog who was going to be shot. We welcomed him in to our family and he has brought so much fun and love to us. He is outgoing, cuddly, animal friendly, and loves people. He is a great walking buddy, and loves to run full speed around our paddocks. He is very empathic and leans in close when he knows you're not at your best. A true sweetheart who loves his bed jacket on at night, then races you to bed to get the best spot. He has become the best mate to Savannah our German Shepherd and also Buddy my brother's dog. Every home needs an Oscar.
