About Oliver

Meet Oliver, a charming cockapoo looking for a forever home. Oliver is around two years old and weighs about 20 lbs. He is neutered, microchipped, and current on vaccinations. Importantly, Oliver must have another dog and a fenced yard in his new home. This requirement is key to ensuring his best interests. His past life with a breeder has made him a bit shy and reserved, particularly around new people. Oliver gets along well with other dogs and cats, so he'll fit right in with a canine companion. He is crate trained and is learning about leash and house training. With some continued guidance and socialization, he has the potential to become a wonderful companion. Oliver has never lived without another dog, so a confident dog friend will help him adjust. He is best suited for someone with experience handling fearful dogs, as he continues to open up and explore the world around him. If you're interested in bringing this sweet boy into your family, reach out for an adoption application!
