My story

Oliver, neutered male, 6 months old, 30Lbs. If you would like to give Oliver a forever home, please contact abetterchancerescue@gmail.com OR log onto abetterchancerescue.org to fill out online application Oliver is a handsome young pup; he is smart, mellow and well behaved. He is loving and submissive by nature; very friendly and playful. He plays well with other dogs, and stays calm around cats. He learned good sanitation habits and heeded commands well. Oliver will make an ideal companion for any family. Please watch his videos attached below. Oliver’s rescue story: The local animal control rounded up a few stray dogs and intended to perform TNVR on them. The rescuer noticed that Oliver was the smallest one among them, and was infested with skin disease. Worried about Oliver’s chances of survival, the rescuer took him back with her. First his skin problem was treated and his health improved rapidly. Oliver soon receives a clean bill of health.
