About Oliver

Oliver came to the rescue with his family after living under a porch at a condemned house for weeks. It took plenty of determination from rescuers to get everyone to safety. He’s a low rider and relishes playtime, making his needs known if he doesn’t get to go outside. Treats are a big hit for him. While Oliver can be a bit reserved with new people at first, he generally warms up quickly and becomes a loyal companion. Everything seems to roll off his back—he’s unfazed by most things and has a go-with-the-flow attitude. He’s likely to make a great family addition, especially since he gets along with dogs and children. Click apply to start the adoption process.
