Our resident bear Oscar is looking for a family! He has been in kennels since June 2025. Oscar is a 2 year old Mioritic shepherd who needs a special experienced home. He is a silly goose who is scared of his own shadow bless him but has a beautiful nature and likes to play and get goofy. He’s a really sweet boy who doesn’t know his size or where the brakes are when it’s time for zoomies!
Oscar puts a lot of trust in his people so Oscar’s family need to be confident handling a big dog like him as he feeds off that energy which in turn helps him feel more confident and comfortable.
He would like to be the only pet at home – although he does have some dog friends at the kennels, he has previously guarded against other dogs at home. No children (as they’re super scary) and he needs time and patience to settle in at home. He will need several meets to feel comfortable but each time more and more of his silly side will come out and you will fall a bit more in love!
Please share and help Oscar find his family.
Located in Shropshire. Adoption fee: £250.

Sponsor oscar

Most of our dogs are in paid kennels while they wait — a real cost, every single day. Monthly sponsorship from as little as £5/month helps cover those costs and means a dog has someone rooting for them. You’ll receive updates and photos for as long as they are with us.
