About Oliver

Meet Oliver! This friendly little guy found himself in a challenging situation when his previous owner wanted him gone. Instead of being aggressive, Oliver surprised everyone with his happy demeanor and eagerness for attention. He is about three years old and weighs around 12 lbs, looking like a charming mix between a Cavapoo and a Havanese, with a lovely long coat that seems to be non-shedding—just a heads up, he will need regular grooming. Oliver thrives on companionship and enjoys being around other dogs, which helps boost his confidence. He can be a bit shy, especially with his feet, likely from past experiences. He does exhibit some guarding behavior with food and high-value items, but he means no harm. This delightful pup would do well in a home with other dogs and would benefit from a loving and attentive owner.
