Update 5/24/2026 It’s something you never quite get used to, the incredible resilience of rescue dogs and their ability to heal, both physically and emotionally. Oliver was found alone on the streets, another innocent victim of neglect and abandonment. In addition to severe bilateral ear infections, this sweet senior's skin was like bare elephant skin, hard with deep wrinkles, dry, and incredibly itchy. He was clearly uncomfortable, and no one could have blamed Oliver if he had lost trust in people. But rescue dogs have an amazing way of recognizing kindness, and Oliver has met every bit of care with love and gratitude.
Beyond his handsome looks, he is an incredibly sweet and affectionate boy with the most expressive brown eyes. His favorite place is curled up beside his person on the couch or in a chair, soaking up all the love he can get. Oliver rides well in the car, is comfortable in a crate, walks nicely on a leash, and has a calm, quiet nature. He gets along beautifully with both cats and dogs, loves people, and is fully housebroken, he will even scratch at the door when he needs to go outside. The only thing that unsettles him is thunder and lightning, and during storms he will come looking for comfort and reassurance.
Oliver weighs 14 lbs and is on a strict salmon-based diet to help manage his allergies. He also receives a monthly Cytopoint injection.
Oliver is nearing the end of his medical journey and will soon be ready to find a forever home. Stay tuned for more updates!
