About Oliver

Oliver is a charming young Shih Tzu mix with a vibrant personality and plenty of playful energy. He's house-trained and crate-trained, making him an ideal companion for someone seeking a fun, active little dog. Oliver is neutered and vaccinated, showing no known health issues, which adds to his appeal. Having shared his home with Trixie, another Shih Tzu mix, Oliver is accustomed to the company of other dogs. They both came into care after their previous owner passed away, and instead of ending up in a shelter, they were lovingly taken in to find their next homes. Since then, Oliver has been well cared for and groomed, showing off his affectionate and lively nature. This happy little guy is eager to start a new chapter with a loving family.
