Hi Friends,
My name is Oliver...you can call me O, Oli, Olive, Oliver or just cutie patootie because that's what most humans call me. I am ten years young and looking for a new home. See my mom found herself as a single parent, and is finding it difficult to care for me. I am a very sweet and loving boy who is excellent in the house and rarely barks. The only time I do bark is when a new friend rings the door bell. I have full run of the house, and have impeccable manners.
Medically, for a senior boy I don't seem to have any mobility issues. I do have chronic ear issues that have bothered me since I was a puppy so if you adopt me this will be something you have to keep an eye on. My vision is no longer 20/20 but I do pretty well.
At home my favourite place was hanging out on the front porch. I would hang out off leash watching the world go by. You don't have to worry about me running off I usually just go to the grass to sniff and come back. I can be left alone in the house with no issues. I will usually just snuggle up on my bed until you return.
I am excellent on leash and love to go for walks...I mean what dog doesn't enjoy a walk with their humans? I am fabulous off leash and could walk forever if you let me.
I am super friendly with everyone I meet. Whether you are big or small as long as you are giving me attention I am instantly your best buddy. I am good with dogs too! If you have a dog I would be best with a middle age to older dog as puppies can sometimes be too much for me.
I love to swim which could be the reason why I have ear troubles sometimes. I am not much into toys or fetch anymore but will fetch a stick in the water.
I know commands such as sit, stay, lie down, come, paw, find your bed, leave it and off.
Do I sound like I could be a match for you?
Love, Oliver
