Meet Oliver

Status with People

Social butterfly!  Love all people and children, but too much puppy for small children. Children should be older and sturdy on their feet because I’m puppy jumpy.

Status with Dogs

GREAT with other dogs and love to play.  Have 3 furry foster siblings, both genders, and take direction well from them.  My favorite thing is to play with dog friends. I’m neutral in temperament and follow the guidance of the adult dogs around me.

Status with Cats

Live with a cat and do fine.

Favorite Toys

LOVE toys! Enjoy playing with my tug ropes, stuffy  toys and balls.  I also love all types of chew bones. If it’s a toy or chewy  it’s my friend! 

Energy Level

Typical high energy puppy.  Active and energetic outside running, romping and playing with my furry foster siblings.  We play in the house also, but settle down for snuggles on the couch when tired.  I get A LOT of exercise as I’m running and playing most of the time with my best furry friends.

House Trained

Yes. I go to the door and wait or paw at it.

***AGN recommends that you train my to Poochie Bells so I can provide clear communication when I need to go out.

Crate Trained

Yes. I sleep in my crate at night and I go in my crate for up to 3 hours when my foster family leaves the home.  

House Manners

Although I’m really exceptional for my age, PUPPY PROOF! I don’t chew on things, but I’m a counter surfing puppy so keep the counters “Oliver proofed”. I have a puppy brain and am still learning. 

Leash Manners

Pretty good for such a young age.  Pulls on leash a bit right now and will get better with continued practice.  My Walk Your Dog With Love harness is key to reduce the pulling.  I just get excited and want to meet everyone I see because I’m such a social butterfly.

Exercise

Active pup who loves exploring! Must get significant daily exercise and playtime… power walking/jogging, hiking, swimming, etc.  Running and playing with other dogs is important for me to meet my social and exercise needs.

Car Rides

Good in the car once I get my excitement out.   

Basic Commands

I’m a really intelligent puppy who’s eager to please.  I know, Sit, Down, I’m working on Come and I know my name.  

Things I need in my Forever Home

• Active family that likes to exercise daily by taking lots of walks/runs, hikes and fun outdoor adventures.
• Someone who doesn’t work, works from home or works part time. I’m young and active and need someone with the time to commit to my exercise and training. 
• Positive reinforcement obedience training classes are REQUIRED. I have so much potential and I’m so smart. This will help us bond and build our relationship, while establishing a good foundation of training. It’s so much fun.
• I’d highly prefer a dog companion that will run, romp and play with me, share toys and snuggle as I love to play with other dogs
• I might do okay in a home without another dog as long as I get to socialize with other active dogs on a regular basis and get lots of exercise. I could also meet furry friends in training classes. I thrive with other dogs, so you’ll have to find me friends that I can play with.
• I’d be great with older children, but they should be sturdy on their feet since I’m a happy, bouncy, energetic puppy.
