About Oliver

Meet Oliver, a charming 5-year-old Poodle weighing in at just 11 pounds. This tiny fellow was found as a stray, and while we don’t know his past, his foster home has shared delightful insights. Oliver loves to follow his foster mom everywhere, making him an excellent companion. He gets along well with other dogs and is reported to be great on a leash, quiet in the car, and quite content not barking at all. Although he’s still mastering house training and can be a picky eater, his sweet disposition shines through. Oliver thrives on companionship and would do best with a family who can spend ample time at home; he wouldn't adapt well to long hours alone. His eagerness to see his foster after a short separation truly highlights his affectionate nature. Oliver is currently fostered in Arlington, VA. Ready to welcome this loving little guy into your home?
