Oliver is looking for a human companion to hang out with by the fire and the great outdoors.

Oliver came to us as a stray from the pound. Not knowing Oliver’s background, we’ve had to rely on him to tell us his story. We are guessing he may have been a working dog who was mostly outdoors.

He seems to mirror his environment. In the pound, he was anxious and desperately wanted human attention. When he was taken out of the pound, he would instantly calm and soak up affection without amping up with excitement. We think a laid-back home would bring out the best in Oliver.

The same can be said for his leash skills. At the pound, he was like a Husky pulling a sled, with the human being the sled. But in a calmer environment, his leash skills are surprisingly good.

He can be hit-and-miss with other dogs. This could also have something to do with his responses in a calm versus chaotic environment. Oliver has marked inappropriately inside where other dogs have been. Now that he has been neutered, we’re hopeful this will end. We don’t know how he is with cats.

Oliver travels well and doesn’t mind traffic noise. His nose will likely lead him astray if he doesn’t have a fenced area. In the future, after he becomes attached to his person or people, there is the possibility of him sticking close by. Being food motivated will help too.

We think Oliver’s ideal home will be as a devoted companion to a single person or a couple in a rural environment where he can enjoy being with his people inside and out.

Oliver has been neutered, microchipped, and his vaccinations are up to date. The adoption fee for Oliver is $500.00.
