My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Oliver James is an incredibly sweet and gentle boy who has hypothyroidism and is struggling in the shelter environment. He would love to find a loving foster or adoptive home where he can continue to get the care he needs.

Oliver came to the shelter as a stray and very quickly became a favorite of staff and volunteers. Here’s what some of them have said:

“Oliver James is very easy to leash and walks very well. He is very attentive to his handler and loves treats. On our walk he enjoyed sniffing and would gently pull me to check out a new smell. Overall, a very sweet and loving pup.”

“Oliver James enjoys his naps, but he also appreciates being out in the fresh air and taking leisurely strolls.”

Oliver James has shared his kennel politely and has been independent and easygoing when meeting other dogs in playgroup. He’d like to meet any resident dogs before heading home to ensure a good fit. Please ask about him today!
