About Oliver

Meet Oliver! This spirited ten-year-old Maltipoo is currently living in Gilbertsville, PA. Despite his small size at 17 pounds, he boasts a vibrant personality and exudes charm with his fluffy white coat and adorable wiggle-butt prance. Oliver thrives on independence, often entertaining himself with a favorite bone or a small squeaky toy. You’ll find that he is also a great lover of belly rubs. When it's time to nap, he shows a surprising commitment to comfort, sometimes opting for a cozy spot in the closet instead of one of his four beds. He appreciates a predictable routine and is semi house-trained, though he may have the occasional indoor accident. A family who can offer frequent potty breaks in an easily accessible fenced yard will suit him well. Oliver has mastered commands like sit and up, but he could flourish even more with patient positive reinforcement. Though he can be selective about his canine companions, Oliver is open to the right furry friend. He has limited recent experience with children, and his comfort level with cats remains a mystery. Crowds can be stressful for him; he prefers a calm, quiet environment where someone is home most of the time to reassure him. With ongoing veterinary care for his dental health, arthritis, and anxiety, Oliver is neutered, microchipped, and up-to-date on vaccines. He enjoys regular grooming every five weeks to keep him looking sharp. Could Oliver be the delightful companion who adds more joy and cozy moments to your home? Your new best friend is just one click away.
