About Oliver
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website. âMeet our very own Oliver Twistâ Hi, my name is Oliver and much like that appealing orphan that Charles Dickenâs wrote about, I too am seeking the security of a family for my very own. I am approximately 6 years old and have recently been staying in a very busy house with 5 other furry friends. I get along great with everyone and donât mind sharing my food, bones, or toys, and will even let you nap with me. I sleep like a log at night in my crate on this amazing donut bed and am just starting to enjoy âexploringâ my surroundings. I occasionally get the zoomies when doing this whole âpotty outsideâ thing, so you may want to keep the leash on me as Iâm still working on âcomeâ but I know that if I show you my belly, Iâll get scratches and man do I love those! Iâm not an expert on leash yet and may not recognize all the commands you are saying to me but Iâm a smart boy whoâs willing to learn if you can be patient with me. My favorite treats are freeze-dried beef or salmon bites, and I just learned what a ball is...who knew? I like to nibble on those healthy Nyla bones or other KONG toys (dumbbells, bones, balls) Iâm not fussy and enjoy a good nap on anything softy and cozy. Please give me a chance and consider making yours my furever home! ADOPTION REQUIREMENTS: Physically fenced in yard to keep him safe - no invisible fences. Confident and friendly resident dog to help show Oliver the ropes and boost his confidence. *All SFCR dogs are current on age-appropriate vaccinations (rabies, distemper, bordetella, and lepto), spayed/neutered (if at least 6 months of age), tested for heartworm & tick-borne diseases, receive dentals if needed, are started on preventatives for heartworm and fleas/ticks, and microchipped. Prior to being rescued, many of our dogs have received limited socialization, so they generally require extra time to settle in and acclimate. Skills like house training, leash walking, and mastering stairs may require a little extra practice. However, with understanding, patience, and a gentle hand, most of our dogs adapt quite quickly.
