About Oliver

Oliver and Simba are a dynamic duo of tiny shadows, brimming with puppy breath and pure joy! These nearly identical rat terrier mix brothers are as precious as can be, boasting sleek black coats, expressive faces, and those irresistible puppy eyes that melt hearts. They are sweet, playful, affectionate, and social butterflies, friendly with other dogs, cats, and people alike. They are utterly convinced that everyone they meet is there to shower them with love, and honestly, they're not wrong!

Oliver is the more thoughtful of the two, observing his surroundings with a gentlemanly air before diving into the fun. Simba, on the other hand, approaches life with the unbridled enthusiasm of someone who just heard the word "snack." Together, they create a perfect balance.

As they are still young pups, Oliver and Simba are learning all the essential puppy skills, like potty training, establishing routines, discovering the joy of toys, building confidence, and understanding why humans get so flustered about shoes. Both puppies are wonderfully affectionate and already have a strong bond with people, naturally following you from room to room just because they want to be near you. Based on their mama's size, they are expected to remain small, making them compact companions with enormous personalities and boundless love to give. These boys are incredibly lovable, the kind who fall asleep in a cuddle puddle after playtime and come running for every impromptu "family meeting" you have on the floor. They have a magical way of making a house feel instantly softer and happier. You can already envision them frolicking in the yard, napping in adorable puppy piles, or quietly shadowing you as the best little emotional support assistants. While they are brothers, they are available for adoption separately.

Ideal Home

A home that can appreciate their puppy energy and provide consistent guidance as they continue to learn. Homes with children 10 years and over are recommended to ensure the best fit for both the pets and families.

Ongoing Health

No specific health concerns mentioned.

Training & Support

These are puppies who are still learning: potty training, routines, toys, confidence, and respecting boundaries with shoes. They are described as wonderfully affectionate and deeply connected to people.
