Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Oliver is in foster care in Norwalk, ct
This adorable little pup is approx 11 months old and 11 lbs. He is just a sweet, playful, and fun little dog! He loves everyone he meets, enjoys going for walks, playing with his toys, and snuggling up on the couch next to his foster mom! He was surrendered by his former owner to the rescue due to a medical condition called a cherry eye. This has now been surgically corrected and he otherwise has checked out very healthy. He has been fully vaccinated, neutered, and has a microchip. He is pretty well house and leash trained, but not perfect.
He can run through a door very quickly ,as soon as you open it and we require a home with a fully fenced in and secure yard and no children under the age of 15
