About

Meet Oliver

Oliver is a 1-year-old Shih Tzu, Jack Russell, and Chihuahua mix with a short copper coat. Weighing just 14 pounds, he's small in size but big on loyalty and affection for his chosen person. Once he follows you around with that adorable little underbite, you're sure to fall for this little lovebug!Oliver has come from a difficult past, so he is learning new things every day. When it comes to making new friends, he is still very shy around new people, especially women. He needs a patient, understanding home where he can build trust at his own pace. Ideally, his adopter would be a single male or a male couple, as it seems that Oliver is much more comfortable with men. Oliver will not be able to live with small children right now because of his anxiety. He has previously lived with other dogs and cats, though a proper introduction will be key in the future.Oliver is a sweet, playful pup who loves to run around and follow his foster dad playing with toys, sometimes rolling onto his back in the middle of play. He will not need much exercise to stay busy, just a short walk or playtime each day.While he is still working on house training, his foster family recommends using a belly band to keep him learning. He currently spends his nights in a kennel, though he may bark for a little while before settling. His foster family keeps him on a good routine, and he will continue to grow if given a little love. In the meantime, Oliver is not a good fit for homes with shared walls (no apartments/townhomes) due to barking. With patience and care, Oliver is sure to thrive and become a loyal pup!
