Story

OLIVER IS LOOKING FOR A NEW FAMILY! He is a 5 year old, male, Pembroke Welsh Corgi. He is AKC registered. He is being rehomed because of arguments with the other dog in the home. It appears there was no issue between the two dogs until children were born and now they argue over food. Children drop food and it is hard to keep the peace. He would do best in an environment with older children or adults only as small children seem to provide a bit of stress in his world. He’s potty trained, crate trained, listens well and loves getting pets and attention. He is leash trained and loves going on walks. Dog parks are not recommended but simple neighborhood walks are more his cup of tea! Oliver favors adults and although he currently lives with young toddlers, he prefers a calmer setting. There is an adoption fee and application process for a meet and greet / adoption for Oliver! Please email us at blueridgerescue@aol.com for an application or with additional questions.
