Oliver

My story

Oliver spent the first part of his life in a puppy mill, which has made him timid and shy. He takes comfort in his safe spaces—whether it’s a cozy bed, an open crate, or his favorite quiet spot. While initially reserved, he warms up with patience and becomes a loyal, affectionate companion. He is a healthy 5-6 year old male. ✔ Good with Other Dogs: Enjoys the company of calm, friendly dogs ✔ Not Cat-Tested: Previous owner had a cat, so he may be okay with them ✔ Good with Older Children: Prefers a calm household ✔ Shy with Strangers: Will need time to build trust but becomes a devoted friend once comfortable ✔ Loves the Outdoors: Enjoys sunshine and fresh air—requires a fenced yard for safety 🏡 Oliver’s Ideal Home: ✔ A patient, loving family who is home most of the time ✔ A quiet, stable environment to help him gain confidence ✔ A commitment to helping him maintain a healthy weight ✔ Someone willing to give him the time and space he needs to trust and bond Once Oliver feels safe, his sweet Cavalier personality shines through! He loves quiet companionship—snuggling on the couch, relaxing in his favorite spot, or enjoying a gentle walk. If you’re looking for a gentle soul who will reward patience with unwavering love and loyalty, Oliver may be the perfect match for you!
