Oliver

Reduced adoption fee- ask staff for more information

Meet Oliver!

Oliver is a handsome 5-year-old neutered male with a big personality to match his big size. While he may look like your typical large working-breed dog, Oliver has different ideas about his ideal lifestyle. Farm life with small animals is not for him-instead, he'd love a home with a large, secure yard where he can stretch his legs, play, and enjoy being part of the family.

Oliver is a loyal and protective boy who takes his role as guardian seriously. He can be vocal when it comes to protecting his belongings, so he is not suited for apartment living or other close-quarters housing. He thrives in a setting where he has space and a family that understands and appreciates his watchful nature.

This strong fellow will need an experienced owner who can confidently handle his size and continue working on his leash manners. Oliver is eager to build a bond with his people and will do best with someone committed to providing structure, guidance, and ongoing training.

Oliver may be able to live with another dog following a slow and proper introduction. Cats have not yet been tested. Due to his size and strength, he would be happiest in a home with older children who can comfortably interact with a large dog.

If you're looking for a loyal companion, have the space he needs, and are ready to help him be the best version of himself, Oliver could be the perfect match for you!
