My name is Oliver, or Ollie for cuteness. I am a charming, goofy, 48.6-lb, 1 1/2-year-old Australian Shepherd. Sadly, I was left behind to fend for myself when my family moved.
I possess a great temperament and super sweet personality, effortlessly forming connections with everyone I meet .
If the idea of a dog resting its head on your lap resonates with you, I’m your guy.
My favorite thing in life is being with my person and I tend to follow them everywhere. I do get some separation anxiety so someone who is home most of the time to stay by my side is ideal. Training to help me overcome this will certainly be helpful.
Due to my puppy-like tendencies and not being accustomed to the sounds of city living, I require someone who is willing to assist with my training. I love walking on a leash as long as there are no distractions, but noises such as cars and bikes make me nervous. But my foster mom says that I have improved. I am an extremely intelligent boy, a quick learner and obedient.
I prefer to sleep at night in close proximity to my family, and will sleep quietly on my bed all night.
I relax in tandem with my surroundings and settled quickly into my foster home.
Car rides are something I enjoy and, of course, doing things with my human. I am very eager to please.
I benefit from the companionship of a friendly dog but I can adapt to a solo environment too. I do well with older children, but I may accidentally knock over a younger kid with my exuberance.
I am already a great dog, I just need training and guidance to be even better. I love to run and play with my toys in the yard, so an active family with a fenced yard and experience with my breed will be considered. I don't like being left outside in the yard without my humans; I just want to be where they are.
