Story
**Oliver is a member of our Lonely Hearts Club and his adoption fee has been reduced** Oliver is a whole lot of dog with a whole lot of love to give. He’s a champion couch snuggler, enthusiastic toy wrestler and professional deliverer of big, wet kisses. His big stuffed Unicorn has lost countless wrestling matches to him, so clearly he takes his playtime seriously!When he first arrived, Oliver was shy when meeting new people and needed time to feel comfortable, but he`s made lots of female friends at DCHS. He is uncomfortable around men, so he is looking for a female-only household. Once Oliver trusts you, his sweet and affectionate personality really shines. During a recent six-night foster stay, he acclimated to his foster home and neighborhood right away, following his foster mom around the house and happily exploring alongside her. At night, he often slept beside her, sometimes snuggling and sometimes stretching out at the foot of the bed.Oliver is also house-trained and loves getting out for walks. His foster mom said he was excellent on their walks, calmly paying attention when they passed cars, people and other dogs without barking. He may occasionally pull on the leash, but he responds well to gentle corrections and treats. He knows commands including sit, stay, come, down, let`s go and treat, too!And when it comes to playtime, Oliver is all in. He loves toys and playing fetch, and his foster mom reports that he would happily bring the ball back over and over again. His squeaky stuffed donut toy is another favorite. When playtime is over, he knows how to relax, settling on the floor or curling up beside his person on the couch. Basically, Oliver has mastered the important parts of life: walks, fetch, snacks, snuggles and naps.Oliver has been waiting for a home since July. His ideal family is made up of only ladies ready to give this big, sensitive guy the time and encouragement he needs to build trust and confidence, along with plenty of walks, toys, couch time and love.He currently has a private room, so just ask our Adoption Center staff to meet him.Weight: ~ 92 lbsMedical: Oliver is a healthy dog, but it is always a good idea to take him to his new veterinarian to receive a full check-up and establish care.Restrictions: No male humans in the household due to fear and reactivity. Adoption Fee: $100 + tax
