My name is Oyster and I'm the sweetest boy ever! I have the cutest little "bat ears" that point straight up when I hear something; and the biggest soulful brown eyes. So far my favorite thing about retirement is snuggling with some cozy blankets and peanut butter! My foster family has 2 tiny humans in it as well. They love me and I think they're pretty awesome too.
I've been learning all sorts of new things like how to wait patiently when asked and working on alone time. I LOVE to eat, so I'm really enjoying having food as a reward for good behavior. I am also a little shadow. Wherever you go, I'll be right behind you. I don't like to miss out on anything you're doing. I even love to watch tv! My leash manners are great and I've been doing really well letting my foster mom know when I need to go outside to go potty.
As you may have seen on the GEGR website, I am not yet available for adoption. My veterinarian has determined I'm something called heartworm positive. This means I have an infection of icky worms in my bloodstream, and possibly my heart, that could make me very sick if left untreated. I'm so grateful the folks at GEGR, my foster family, and my veterinarian are doing everything they can to make me all better again. I'm strong and I know even though it's a long road, I can do it! Stay tuned for more updates on my journey through my treatment and into this awesome new thing called retirement.
