Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Oliver is a very happy, male Maltese mix, 11 months of age. He is a little guy, weighing 6 lbs 12 oz. Oliver is a “one of a kind” Maltese with a coat that is part white and part jet black. His very fine, silky coat of non-shedding hair is prone to matting so he needs a person experienced in a grooming a Maltese or frequent trips to the groomer. This stunning little dog was surrendered by his busy family as they had no time for him. He was crated long hours. Oliver does need help with house training and basic commands so a person with time and previous experience training a young dog is required. Oliver has experience with children and likes gentle loving. Most of all Oliver enjoys being included in family activities and will be social and friendly with everyone, wagging his tail happily. He gets along fine with other small dogs but doesn't really need a canine friend in the home to feel secure and content. Oliver is quiet and well-mannered in his foster home. He is attentive and his curious nature makes him fun to be around and easy to love. Oliver was recently neutered and is ready for his new forever home today!
You can meet Oliver SATURDAY, DEC. 3rd at the SANTA PAWS SUPER ADOPTION EVENT at Grossmont Shopping Center from 11 a.m. – 3 p.m.
