Oliver

What my friends at OHS say about me:

• Watch my video above!
• I have been working with the Behavior and Training team here at OHS and am looking for a special home. To learn more about my specific needs, please read my What to Expect handout.
• I really enjoy the company of my human friends! I've never met a stranger and will roll over for belly rubs, cuddle on the couch, and play fetch with friends!
• I love to learn! You can use my favorite toys or treats as positive reinforcement and to teach me new things. Let me show off what I know for you! I know sit, lay down, stay, leave it, roll over, and walking politely on leash! And I've got a great "blue steel" look to boot!
• Bite History: I have a history of biting a person when I got overly excited during play time.
• High Energy: I can become easily frustrated if my energy and exercise needs are not met. Let's keep each other active.
• I love to run! I have been on the running team while at OHS and would make a great running and/or hiking buddy!
• Escape Artist: I have a history of escaping doors or fences. I will need supervision when outdoors or we can go on adventures together - on leash of course!

The type of home I'm looking for:

• My perfect family would be an adult household. I would be overwhelming for small children; I might knock them down and try to steal their toys.
• I'm quite the rambunctious pup, and I am not for the first time dog owner. Someone very familiar with canine body language is a must for me!
• I need a home without cats or other small animals.
• I will need to meet any canine companions prior to getting adopted.
• It could be with you! Click here to learn about the adoption process.

Interested in adopting me?

Adoption meet and greets are done by appointment, but the shelter is open for walk-through viewing. We also have availability each day for walk-in adoptions.

Submit an adoption questionnaire for a pet you are interested in, and we will contact you to set up your meet and greet when you become the next in line.
