Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Oliver is a 9 old handsome border Collie mix that was adopted out of a local shelter when he was 16 weeks old. His birthdate is November 06, 2014. Oliver has had the same owner until recently and unfortunately the owner decided that it was best to surrender him to a local kill shelter due to the fact that he has osteosarcoma and amputation of the front leg was necessary. We could not allow this handsome boy to decline sitting behind bars so we stepped in to save him and brought him into our program. Oliver is enjoying his life in his new foster home - and his missing leg does not bother him at all!!!
He is making friends slowly as he himself is still learning how to navigate his world with only three legs. Oliver runs all over the five acres, jumps up onto the porch and into vehicles with no problems. He does tend to get tired after a bit of running and exploring, then he returns to his crate and comfy bed. He is absolutely crate trained and housebroken. He will let you know when he needs to go out. Oliver does not play with toys very much but does enjoy a nice smoked marrow bone.
Oliver is all about people and will easily become attached to his human. He is a quiet dog...not a barker. Oliver is looking for a quiet place without small children as the noise and activity level of small children make him nervous. He is a very chill dog and needs a very chill home to live out the rest of his days.
Interested in becoming this pup’s forever home? For immediate consideration, please fill out our online adoption application: http://www.friendswithfourpaws.org/adoption-form.html This is the first step in our process, and we DO NOT go any further without an application.
If there are multiple dogs that you are interested in, please fill out an application for each dog. This does not include bonded pairs, one application will be fine. We have different adoption coordinators working with different dogs, and your application may be missed if you only apply once.
Find more adoptable pets, news and information on Instagram @friendswithfourpaws or our Facebook page Friends with Four Paws .
We put a lot of time and energy into processing our adoptions to find our babies the best fit home for them and you. Please do not submit an application if you are not serious about adopting.
We are so excited to work with you to find you a new forever friend, and the perfect forever home for our dogs. We appreciate you working with us.
Our adoption fees cover spay/neuter surgery, full (age appropriate) vaccinations, microchip insertion and registration, deworming, heartworm testing and prevention, flea and tick prevention and travel expenses.
All of our dogs are rescued from local shelters and the general public. Each dog is then placed in a foster home where he/she is kept for quarantine, to ensure if the dog gets sick it can receive proper treatment. We have foster homes in the NJ/NY area waiting to receive their fosters. Once an animal has received an application or there's an adopter interested, we make arrangements for transport. If a dog is already in foster care in NYC/NJ, an adopter will be put in touch with the foster home AFTER an application is being processed.
Thank you in advance for your patience with our process and for making adoption YOUR option!
