Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Meet Oliver! If you’re looking for an extremely loving, people-centric, happy-go-lucky adult companion, then Oliver is your guy! His soulful eyes will melt your heart, and he loves to be near his people as much as he can. He lives for snuggles and cuddles, and will happily park on the couch with you for hours, as long as there are belly-rubs on the agenda. Oliver gets along easily with other dogs and is well-socialized. His beagle side shows through in his intelligence and in the time he’s been with his foster parents, he’s learned many new life skills like walking on a leash, some basic commands and how to be an all-around great canine citizen. He is completely housebroken and has never had an accident in the house! His favorite activities include chilling on the deck and patio, sniffing around the yard and keeping a close eye on his foster people.
At bedtime, he will sleep in his dog bed or can also be kenneled at night. Through his excellent behavior, he’s already earned free-rein of the house and shows his good behavior every day. Oliver is a well-seasoned traveler and rides well in the car.
While he doesn’t have kids in his foster home, he’s met them out and about and is great with children.
He had some physical issues in his past, resulting in a broken pelvis that healed incorrectly, which gives him a bit of a hitch in his giddy-up. It doesn’t seem to slow him down at all though, and he shows incredible energy and enthusiasm each and every day.
He might be an older gent, but Oliver’s beautiful heart and spirit will be a wonderful match for any family. Being a beagle mix, he would do best in a house with a fully-fenced yard.
Oliver is estimated to be 10 years old and 23 lbs. Since we don’t know the dog’s actual genetics, this is just a guess on breed and size when grown. All dogs have had a vet examination, are up to date on all vaccinations, have been given dewormer and heartworm prevention. Dogs over 7 months have been heartworm tested. Please note that because we require a home visit at the time of adoption we can only place animals in homes within a 100 mile radius of Minneapolis. If you are interested in meeting this dog please fill out the pre-adoption application on our website at http://www.safehandsrescue.org under Adopt and we will get back to you to arrange a meeting in the foster home.
We are also having an adoption event at Forgotten Star Brewing in Fridley on Saturday, June 17, from 1-3 pm. https://www.facebook.com/events/9297927290282645
Animal attendance is subject to change based on their availability. Please check our Facebook page for confirmed attendance, one day prior to the event.
