Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Adoption Fee: $325
Fostered in Alabama
Age: 6 years
Weight: 4 lbs.
1/20/15 - Why is it you think that people get a pet, promise to love it until the end of time, and then “WHAM”, out of nowhere we become “homeless”, “free to good home”, “put on the streets”, “turned over to animal control”. It must feel very empowering to know that you have control to wreck the life of something that can’t even speak. Even after thinking about all of this and knowing that if I could come back as a two-legger and would have much more control and power over things, I would still want to come back as a dog - we know no evil, only give unconditional love and that will be rewarded in the end.
Hi, my name is Oliver and my list of previous homes are really too many to mention. Seems my last home was very chaotic with multiple children and other dogs. After escaping, or accidentally being let out by the tykes, they willingly gave me up to a lady who found me roaming. She couldn’t keep me, but promised to find a good rescue for me so that I could be placed correctly by my personality and needs. Finally, something about me. These people get it!
Let me explain myself to you so we can see if we are a fit. First and foremost, definitely no children. I would love to sleep with my parents. In my foster home, there are other pups and it’s too crowded for me, so sometimes I sleep in the big bed, sometimes I choose to go it alone. I’m a very active boy. I love squeaking my toys and bark to engage you in a human/dog game of tug-o-war. You notice I said human/dog. Well, it’s not that I hate other dogs, but I’d truly like a home of my own with no other pups or a very laid back one that I don’t realize is there. A cat is optional since they don’t really invade space. This is not because I’m an alpha or anything; foster mom realizes I love attention and thrive on it. I need a home where I can be mommy and daddy’s little man. I adore being carried around or just sitting in your lap while you pet me. So if you’ve got errands that need to be run, let me be your co-pilot. Oh, this co-pilot likes to sit in your lap while you drive, but I realize that safety comes first.
Not a big fan of going outside, it’s overrated. Foster mom has these things called puppy pads and they work just as well. The best part about my previous home(s) with the children was that a lot of table food seemed to drop on the floor or right into my mouth, so I’ve developed a bad philosophy of “anything low enough is mine”. This includes food, paper, string, toilet paper, etc. As we know, this isn’t good for us, so you do your part.
I’m a teensy little man with your typical yorkie knees, so should be lifted up and down off the furniture and bed and not allowed to jump. Foster mom has me on an Adequan shot once a month and it seems to make my joints wakeup. Joint supplements are always good too since we all know with age, comes arthritis. I am also currently on Tacrolimus which is an eye medicine. I apparently have dry eye and need these drops twice daily for help with production of tears. This medicine is approximately $50 for a 6 week supply. Can you say “skip one expensive meal out and Oliver’s meds are bought”? LOL
I have a very sweet, but strong personality. If I don’t want to do something, I just plant my butt down and don’t move. I know, I’m only 4 lbs. and you can pick me up, just getting my point across. I love all people (adults) that I come into contact with. I adjust easily, as is obvious by my many moves, and given a little while, will make myself right at home.
I guess that’s all I have to tell you about me for now. If I think of anything else, I’ll update. Now, if you’ll just fill out an application and tell me a little about you, I’m hoping to find my forever family soon so I can get away from all these other pups that I have to share space and time with.
