My name is Oliver!

Oliver is an 8 year old male German Shepherd mix breed. He is 75lbs and has a body like a nugget. He is loyal and great at making the home feel protected. He does have quirks that are challenging to appreciate at times. As a senior, he can be a grumpy old man that prefers not to be bothered. He tends to find spaces in the home that make him feel safe and when in those areas it is best to leave him be. Despite that, he is a fun loving dog that craves attention. Once you've earned his trust, all he wants are pets and cuddles. While we've never had an issue with him biting, he does give a warning snarl and nip. Out in the general public, he does a great job at interacting with people and animals, but within the home, he can be very territorial and may not be as welcoming to unknown guests. Despite being raised around children, I think the best living arrangement for him would be a single male or female without children who enjoy the outdoors and desire a good walking partner.
