About Oliver

Halo Aka Oliver came to rescue after facing the risk of euthanasia because of his shyness. That shyness sets him apart, but so do his stunning olive-hued, almond-shaped eyes and an unusually light taupe skin tone you don’t forget. He’s a one-year-old Chihuahua, small in stature but with a sweetness that makes him easy to root for. Halo is already warming up and discovering humans he can trust, and it's clear that despite a rough start—likely living outdoors most of his life—he has the makings of a devoted companion. At 14.8 lbs, he’s fully house trained and comfortable inside, and he’s friendly around both dogs and children. Halo is neutered and current on his vaccinations. He's heartworm positive, but treatment is underway and his outlook is good. Born March 16th, this Pisces has the trademark gentle spirit to match. Halo is waiting in Dallas, TX for someone who will give him the comfort and care he missed before. Lets make it official, apply to adopt!
