About Oliver

Oliver is a 10-year-old Shih Tzu weighing 20 pounds, known for his gentle demeanor and heart full of love. While he may carry a few extra pounds, it only means there's more of him to cuddle. This laid-back gentleman prefers to lounge comfortably rather than chase the excitement. His ideal day involves relaxing with his humans, receiving affection, and enjoying quiet moments. Oliver is the kind of loyal companion that would thrive in a household where he can be a sidekick, whether to a busy mom or a retiree appreciating a peaceful life. Oliver is friendly with both dogs and people; he even gets along with cats too! He’s ready to bring companionship to a family with children but focuses more on supervising from a cozy spot than chasing them around. A little exercise, like gentle walks, would help him on his journey to shed some extra weight. He comes fully vetted, neutered, microchipped, and is up to date on vaccinations. His adoption includes a month of free pet insurance and a GPS tracker, making him a safe addition to your home. Looking for a loving companion?
