Oscar's Story

Oscar, a small Shih Tzu mix with a distinctive underbite, carries a tale that's almost as unique as his appearance. At roughly 7 years old, Oscar isn't just any ordinary dog; This guy is like a cat with 9 lives! Formerly abandoned and left to fend for himself on the streets of Memphis, this guy found his happy ever after with a family in Nashville! When his family had an unexpected move to China, he was subsequently re-homed. Sadly, he didn't enjoy his new home and he kept wandering (running) away when he was put outside. Thankfully, on one adventure after evading authorities, a kind woman picked him up, scanned his chip and contacted us where we learned the whole story! With his keen intelligence and charmingly crooked smile, has been affectionately re-named Oscar the Grouch and we think he is perfect to get his new life started.<br/><br/>Now far removed from his past endeavors, Oscar seeks a peaceful life. He's a character full of contradictions: despite his tough background, he's affectionate, playful, and incredibly loyal to those he trusts. He enjoys the simple pleasures of life, like sunbathing on a cozy afternoon, the joy of a good belly rub, and the thrill of chasing after squeaky toys.<br/><br/>This stunning middle aged boy would thrive best with an adopter who appreciates his unique history and respects his journey from the shadows of his past and is ready to experience his bright and bubbly personality. A patient individual or family, possibly with a soft spot for underdogs with criminal pasts, would be ideal.<br/><br/>Oscar may do best with minimal pets as he tends to get overwhelmed (especially by those bigger than he). We have also learned he likes cats a bit too much (if you know what I mean). He would also enjoy his person to be there most of the time to keep him on the straightened path so as not to lead him back to a life on the streets. <br/><br/>Our guy is up to date on vaccines, neutered, microchipped, on heartworm preventative and ready for his new life. His adoption fee is $275. Apply now at: https://www.shelterluv.com/matchme/adopt/SFP-A-355<br/><br/>Please note that we are a completely volunteer run organization. We do our best to respond to applications within 72 hours. We also can only setup meet and greets once an application has been filled out and interview completed.

SAFPAW Outreach and Rescue (SOAR)'s Adoption Policy
Our goal is to make this as easy as possibly, while also ensuring that we are placing our animals in homes that fit their needs/wants/lifestyle. We start by asking you to fill out an adoption application. Once that is done, an adoption counselor will be in contact with you to discuss your application and answer any potential questions. After you are approved for adoption for a particular animal, we do a 2 week foster to adopt process. We truly want to make sure that this next home, is the forever home for that animal; therefore we give you some time to really see if the fit is in fact a match! This also helps to alleviate any pressure on potential adopters in the event that it just isn't a great match.
