Meet Oliver—a soulful, short-coated Lab/Pit mix in Bridgewater, NJ who's looking for a loyal companion as devoted as he is. At three years old (and turning four this November), Oliver is as emotionally in tune as dogs come. He works hard to please, thriving with routine and calm, steady guidance. A professional training background means he knows his manners, but he’ll absolutely remind you when it's time for a treat or a potty break with a polite nudge of his nose. His energy comes out during games of 'catch me if you can' and through his endearing, musical howls if you forget something essential. Oliver bonds deeply with his people and has shown real sensitivity during transitions—he’s most comfortable as the only pet and requires experienced dog owners who really “get” larger breeds and their routines. Standard crates aren’t for him, but he comes with a special high-anxiety crate that helps him feel secure. He’s fully vaccinated, neutered, house trained, and ready to settle in—just don’t yell; gentle correction works best. If you’re searching for a steady, playful, affectionate goofball who will keep you company through life’s ups and downs, Oliver may be your match. What are you waiting for? Apply today!
