I am Oscar; one unlikely mutt who knows exactly where I am going but not quite sure where I came from. You see, just between you and me, my family tree is one big mystery; I am believed to be something that no one else could ever conceive!

I am simply a mutt of magical proportions and simply the finest degree you will ever see in non-pedigree! OK, OK, for all those rocket scientists out there, I am a random landing somewhere between a shady schnauzer, a tacky terrier and a determined dachshund with a darling dose of secret spice in-between!

Right, now that you all agree that I’m the finest creature that you ever did see, can you believe that no one once wanted a mutt like me? In fact, it’s a mighty mutt miracle that I survived to even wag this tale to you. You see, I was once all alone without a home; I was just one of the 475 million furry statistics out there dying for someone to adopt me.
Living alone without a home is an unbearable exercise in pain and senseless suffering. It is all yelp with no help! You just wish that you had never, ever even been born at all.

I was dumped at a shelter back in 2004. I became an impounded hound. I howled for a home and begged for a bone. I scratched for a passing pat; I did anything to become someone’s pet.

That’s what you do when it's dog or die. I tried to be a pointer, a pincher and the pure breed winner. I tried to be a watch dog, a hot dog, and a savoury sausage dog. I tried to be everything that others wanted of me just so that someone would maybe see how special I could be.

Then, one day, someone kind came and adopted me away. I was somehow spared from despair; now I want to inspire you to save lives everywhere. So, if you are looking for something oh so cute, charming, lovable, delightful, adorable, honorable, sometimes mutty, periodically pedigree and uniquely sweet just like me, dig this. A woof like me wants you! That woof is waiting at a shelter near you.

Get fetching!
