Dog Was About To Be Put Down Until He Was Adopted By His "Repulsively Flamboyant" Parents
Some dogs end up with a second chance at life, and Oat Milk Latte is one of them. After his owner died from COVID-19, the overweight pup was facing euthanasia because of his health problems.
That changed when Ashton Hart and his husband stepped in to adopt him. What they found was a sweet, gentle dog who had clearly been through a lot, but still had plenty of love left to give.
Now Oat Milk is settling into a new home, and his story has people rooting for him everywhere.
Oat Milk Latte was Ashton Hart's grandfather's dog. But when Ashton's grandfather passed away, Ashton and his husband decided to adopt Oat Milk Latte.


Oat Milk Latte had a lot of health problems and had been scheduled to be put to sleep.

After a good bath, Ashton and his husband noticed Oat Milk's fur was extremely matted and needed to be cut off.

“He isn’t the only pet we have; we also have a three-legged tortie cat named Yakisoba, two rats (Biggie and Smalls), and a hamster named Pumpkin!” Ashton said.
“My husband has really been wanting a dog for a while now, but we had never met Oat Milk before going to pick him up, so we didn’t know anything about him. We were fully prepared to take him, rehabilitate him, and then put him in a different home if he wasn’t a good fit for us,” Ashton said.
“But we won the lottery, and he’s the sweetest boy. He’ll be staying in our family for the rest of his life for sure - it’s no question!”

Ashton booked a grooming appointment for Oat Milk, and the difference is incredible!
Oat Milk Latte’s “last stop” feels like Cow’s reunion with the family he thought he’d lost forever.

My favorite thing about him is how sweet he is.
Poor Oat Milk has been through so much.
“Oat Milk is just getting settled, so he hasn’t had a chance to come out of his shell. My favorite thing is whenever we come home from being gone for a while; he greets us with the biggest smile and gets his tail super wiggling,” Ashton said.
“His little butt goes like a motor! (Since his tail is cropped!) I have a video on my TikTok showing it!”

The amount of people who have supported us has been insane, and I feel like we’re going to be able to give him a level of care that wouldn’t have been available to him otherwise.
Oat Milk is enjoying his new life with his "repulsively flamboyant" parents. That's Ashton and his husband's name on social media!
Oat Milk Latte loves morning cuddles and is getting used to his healthier lifestyle. Ashton and his husband enjoy pampering Oat Milk as much as possible.
Oat Milk deserves better, and so do everyone else’s pets. Part of caring for them is giving them what’s best for them, not just the things they like.
