OLIVER - MALTESE / MIXED (MEDIUM COAT) DOG FOR ADOPTION

Description

Dog Breed: Maltese / Mixed (medium coat). Meet little Oliver, the pint‑sized superstar! This adorable 7‑year‑old Maltese mix may weigh only 9 pounds, but his heart, personality, and spunk are absolutely giant. Don’t let his age fool you - Oliver is still full of pep and delightfully youthful energy. Oliver’s favorite hobby? Cozy naps in his comfy bed - he’s a professional snoozer. But don’t worry, he pops right up when it’s time for important activities like lunch or heading outside. He’s mostly potty trained as long as he gets regular outdoor breaks. Once he’s out there, he loves to trot around the yard like a tiny explorer, taking in all the sights and scents. Even though Oliver occasionally voices his opinions (mostly when another dog passes by or he’s excited to see you), he’s not much of a barker. He’s also a proud member of the “gummy bear club" - all his teeth were removed due to previous dental issues, but that doesn’t slow him down one bit. He happily enjoys his wet food and life is good! At night, Oliver sleeps like a little angel in bed with his foster parents - he tried the kennel once and politely said, “No thank you.” Speaking of kennels, he does stay in one when his family is away since he can get a bit nervous and have accidents. He may bark some while in his kennel. Oliver is wonderfully gentle with other dogs and children, loves snuggles, and uses little stairs to get onto the couch because short kings need support too! He’s a bit nervous in the car but does well overall and walks nicely on a leash - he just prefers to save his potty business for home turf. If your life could use a sprinkle of joy, a dash of sweetness, and a whole lot of love, Oliver is your guy! Let this tiny teddy bear steal your heart. Adoption fee includes: Full veterinary exam, Alter, Prepaid microchip, Dewormed, Rabies vaccine (if age appropriate), Distemper combo vaccine(s) appropriate to age, Bordetella vaccine, 4DX (over 6 months of age), Flea/tick and heartworm preventative while in rescue. Adoption fee: $475.00
