Hey there, future best friend! I`m Oliver, a dashing black and white Belgian Malinois mix—just a chill guy looking for my forever home. At 11 months young and weighing in at a solid 65 lbs, I’m basically a puppy in a big dog’s body, ready to turn up the fun dial! I’ve been hanging out at the SBCAS shelter since October 18, 2024, and let me tell you, I’m ready to break free and unleash my inner water-loving goofball! I’m a certified happiness ambassador, specializing in tail wags, playful zoomies, and belly rub requests. If you love long walks, splashing around in the water, and a fella who knows how to bring a smile, then we’re meant to be! I promise to add a splash of joy to your life (and a few paw prints on your floor!). So, come visit me!
