Meet Oscar!
Oscar is a young, high-energy pup with a big personality and an even bigger heart. True to his breed, he's smart, active, and always ready for something to do. Whether it's long walks, playing fetch, learning new tricks, or exploring the outdoors, Oscar thrives when his mind and body are kept busy.
Oscar is a friendly, affectionate boy who enjoys being around his people. He can be a little shy around men at first and may take a bit of time to feel fully comfortable - but with patience and gentle reassurance, he warms up beautifully and forms strong, loyal bonds.
He would do best with an active home that understands the needs of a herding breed and is excited to provide structure, enrichment, and plenty of exercise. In return, Oscar will give you endless devotion, enthusiasm, and plenty of tail wags.
If you're looking for a smart, energetic companion who will be your adventure partner and your biggest fan, Oscar is ready to meet you!
