Oliver - Kitchener

My story

Oliver is a sweet, smart, and independent little guy who loves being near his humans, as he’s more of a “nap beside you” pup than a lap dog, and he’ll win your heart with his calm nature and gentle affection. He’s playful, curious, and very food-motivated, which makes training a breeze! In his foster home, Oliver is doing great with crate training and learning his potty routine. He’s working on his leash skills and knows how to “sit” like a champ. If you’re looking for a loyal, easygoing pup who’s eager to learn and grow with you, Oliver might be your perfect match!IN-SHELTER NOTES & IDEAL HOMESIZE:11 lbs and growing!HOME TYPE:Any.CHILDREN:Yes- children potentially compatible.CATS & SMALL ANIMALS:Yes- cats potentially compatible with slow proper introduction.OTHER DOGS:Yes- dogs potentially compatibleACTIVITY/ENERGY LEVEL:High; will need a lot of daily exercise, enrichment and mental stimulation.HUMAN COMPATIBILTY:First time dog owner possible.TRAINING REQUIREMENTS/NEEDS:At least three in-person training sessions to work on socialization, basic training and manners.HUMAN SOCIAL IN SHELTER:Very human social!FAVOURITE THINGS:Stuffed toys and treats!**For more information on any behaviours stated above, please check out our behaviour fact sheet: https://kwsphumane.ca/BehavioursandDefinitions**Please remember that animals are coming back from foster care to the centres for their meet and greets.
