Meet Oatmeal, a 2-year old, North Carolina scruffy (terrier mix) weighing in at about 17 lbs!! (Age and breed mix are best assessments only; NO guarantee.)

This boy is one fun loving little guy.  So, here’s the scoop on him -

Favorite place -  in your lap.

Best scruffy traits - smart and confident.

Is he athletic?  Yes, and fast.

Best past time - walking, good on a leash and enjoys the time being out and about.

Basic traits - housebroken, crate trained, great appetite. 

Social with other dogs?  Yes, he is good with other dogs and loves to engage everyone in play.

Cuteness meter – way over the top, and he brings life/joy to the home.

Some areas needing work/attention – he is not always aware of where the fur-baby members of the family are allowed… and so you may find him on the table, rather than beside it.  He is also a bit of an attention seeker and can grumble if another fur-kid is vying for that attention.  But, no worries – he is quick to correct.  He will, of course, need consistent training, like any young adult canine.

Oatmeal is neutered and up-to-date on core vaccines.  So, he is all ready for his forever home.  He has already made the trip from NC and is being fostered in the Schenectady NY area.
