All five dogs are heartworm positive. Oscar's foster mom is getting to know his personality one day at a time. As he is getting more comfortable with his home life, he has begun to come out of his shell a bit more. He is extremely loving and sweet. He spends most of his time lounging around the house in his dog bed or on the sofa. He really loves being around his people, so he will lay near wherever you are located.
