Story
Oliver, also known as Ollie, is a gorgeous Havanese mix male that is between 6-10 months old. Ollie was found wandering the streets of south Texas when a good Samaritan found him and got him safe. Unfortunately, nobody came forward for him. While adorable, don’t let this boy fool you. He is very energetic and active. He is full of puppy energy. Oliver is the little energizer bunny that doesn’t know when to stop sometimes. If you know active dogs, a bored dog can be a bad dog. Ollie is not a bad dog, but he does need a family that has patience that will work with him on his training and proper exercising/playing. Ollie is a little spazzy. He goes so fast he forgets to look around him and notice what or who he is next to, so sometimes he is known for scaring himself. He is absolutely LOVES snuggles. The foster has said this about him: Quirks? He tilts his head and stares at you when he is trying to get your attention then will launch himself at you with kisses. He constantly needs reassurance. Temperament? Loves and needs to be around people more often than not. Very playful. Crate Trained? Yes, but he does not like the kennel at all. He does not seem to appreciate being out of sight from his humans. Will whine until he calms himself down. House trained? Yes Kids? Ideally older ones who can play with him and give him lots of attention and play time Other dogs? He can be a lot around other dogs that are not as playful, he needs another dog that can guide him and/or match his energy Cats? He has not been cat tested, but he may be a bit too energetic for most cats. He loves his dog bed and enjoys car rides. Ollie needs a loving, adventurous, and patient home that will offer him reassurance, lots of cuddles and the ability to grow into the kind, amazing boy that he truly is. Ollie will be neutered, heart worm tested, current on rabies vaccine, parvo/distemper vaccine, bordatella, current on flea/tick and heart worm prevention, dewormed, and microchipped. He will receive a clean bill of health from a veterinarian prior to adoption.

Story
If you are interested in adopting or fostering this dog. Please visit our website - www.cockeradoptions.org   There, you will find the current status of the dog, the links to our adoption and foster applications, and detailed information about our adopting and fostering procedures.   MY ORIGINAL INTAKE INFORMATION: Hi Everyone! My name is Chip, and I just arrived at CSAC. I was rescued from a puppy mill. I have spent my life in a barn, a shed or a cage. I do have a defective paw on my right leg. No one knows how I was injured. The CSAC volunteer says that I am very sweet. I was very comfortable with all the new people I was meeting, and I loved all the attention I was getting. I will be a great lap dog. The best home for me has people who have dog experience who can help with my training and acclimating to the outside world. The people in my new home should be able to teach me the skills I need to be a great pet: walking on a lead, house training, and socializing. Right now, I am in the caring hands of one of the great Vets that work with CSAC. They are checking me out and making sure I am healthy. Hopefully, I will find my new family that will help me to understand that I am a cherished family pet, not just an animal to be used to make money. For more information about this dog, email our Adoption Coordinator. Our adoption process starts with an application. If you are interested in adopting this pup, please click the Adopt menu at the top of the screen, read about our process, and click the application link. The medical and custodial care of the many Cockers in our care is tremendous. More and more dogs are abandoned with urgent and serious medical issues. We are committed to providing the best possible care for these forgotten friends. Unfortunately, the mounting high costs are beginning to limit the number of dogs we are able to take into our program. Even if you cannot adopt or foster one of our current adoptable dogs, please consider making a donation. The Cocker Spaniel Adoption Center is a 501(c)(3) non-profit charitable organization, and your donations are entirely tax deductible. Click the Donate menu at the top of the screen.
