About Oliver

Oliver is a 3-year-old Australian Shepherd weighing in at 50 lbs. He has a beautiful long coat that is predominantly brown and chocolate, coupled with white and cream accents. This sweet dog gets along well with other dogs, making him a great companion for a pup-friendly household. However, he needs a home without cats or small children, as he's not quite ready for that kind of environment. Currently, Oliver is in foster care and can only be met by appointment.
