My name is Oliver!

My name is Oliver. I am crate-trained and house-trained. I am relaxed on car rides and walk great on a leash. I live well with other dogs and cats. I am not a chewer or digger. I am a lover and a snuggler after I know you. I am gentle and thoughtful, but I am hard to get to know. I am leery of people I don't know. If you're a new person to me, I will usually bark because I am shy and reserved. But I promise if you give me a chance, I can be a good friend and protector for you. I will alert you to strange noises and people at the door. I will bond very hard to you and will show my loyalty.
I am a low-maintenance guy with lower energy even though I am young.
Please be patient with me and give me a chance? I have met my foster mom's friends and after a couple days I was laying in their laps asking for head scratches. I do like adults more than children so would do best in a home without children.
