About Oliver

Meet Oliver, or as we affectionately call him, Ollie!

Ollie's journey has been one of remarkable transformation. Rescued in a vulnerable state with painful, mange-ridden skin, he was once on the euthanasia list at a municipal shelter. Thankfully, a kind volunteer and a foster saw his potential, and our rescue stepped in, embarking on Ollie's path to healing.

Months later, Ollie has blossomed into a handsome, happy, and vibrant dog! While most of his fur has grown back beautifully, he still sports a charming bald patch around his neck and shoulders, a testament to his resilience. His incredible glow-up is truly heartwarming.

Ollie is one of the sweetest companions you'll ever encounter. His foster family lovingly calls him their "golden child" because he's nearly perfect. Ollie is wonderful with every person he meets, including children, and he absolutely adores other dogs.

He is both potty trained and kennel trained. Ollie enjoys playing with his canine friends, engaging with chew toys, going for walks, embarking on car rides, and simply relaxing. His foster family cherishes him, and witnessing his recovery has been an incredibly rewarding experience.

Ollie requires weekly baths to maintain his skin's health. These baths are quick, easy, and he is wonderfully cooperative.

He is estimated to be around 6-7 years old and weighs approximately 55 lbs.
