Oswego is almost 3 years old and an active wheaten boy. He came to Col. Potter as an owner surrender. Oswego's owner got him as a puppy and fell in love with him. The owners were elderly and over time caring for Oswego became difficult. Being a cairn, Oswego enjoyed the secret goodies he received from his dad - such as bagels, cold cuts & ice cream (to name a few). His mom couldn't figure out why Oswego wouldn't eat his dinner and was getting plump! With lack of exercise and the secret diet, Oswego became overweight. As it became more difficult for the owners to care for Oswego, a family member selflessly offered to became his caretaker until a rescue could be found. Oswego had a change of diet and lost 5 pounds! He received training and exercise. Oswego would run along with the children rollerblading. He also got to meet and interact with other dogs. The family dearly loved Oswego but it was so difficult for the elderly man to see Oswego without getting teary eyed when he visited his family. The family sadly said goodbye to Oswego as he headed for his new life with Col. Potter. It was the ultimate gift they could give him.
Please welcome Oswego!
