Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Do you like oversize lap dogs that crave a fellow snuggle buddy? How about a dog who can stand on his own two feet until you feed me a treat?
Tired of squirrels breaking into your bird feeder and all out of options and need someone to chase them off and show them whose boss? Well your search is over!
Hello, my name is Oliver, and if I must say, I am a fabulous 4 year old aussie mix and while I may be a bit more on the rotund side, it just means there is more of me to love! My beautiful locks and freckled feet will have you falling for me the same way I would for you! I am currently in Richmond, VA and love going on walks in the parks and exploring new areas. And though I am a bit big, I am working on getting in better shape with constant zoomies in the yard where I hone my craft. There isnt a toy that I have met that I don't like and will demand that you play with me until I burn off all that extra energy.
I do enjoy the company of other dogs, but it takes me some time to warm up and personally I would rather have you all to myself, if possible. I am alright with kids but I can be a little vocal at times when meeting new people. Although if they bribe me with a treat, they are more inclined to get on my good side. I am good on a leash and crate trained as well. One thing is for certain, I will love you unconditionally.
If I sound perfect for your family, please fill out the application: https://www.australianshepherdsfurever.org/adoption-application
There is an additional $20 microchip fee which includes registration and transfer to his new family. All adoption fees are used for future rescue efforts.
