Oliver first came into LBR back in November of 2006. He was only 3 months old. He was adopted in March of 2007 and lived with his family until they returned him in December of 2008. The only reason he was returned was because he had an argument over a toy with his canine sister. The family was informed before they adopted him that Oliver was a resource guarder but they did not take precautions or listen to our ongoing advice/education. Oliver had to be boarded upon his initial re-entry into the group because all of our foster homes were full. It didn't take long and one of our volunteers who didn't normally foster stepped up and offered to foster Oliver. He has been in foster care for almost 2 years now.

Oliver is now 4 years old. He has matured into a wonderful man! Oliver is deaf but understands many hand signals for obedience cues and is very food motivated, therefore, easy to train. He does resource guard toys and food so he eats his meals in his crate and toys are closely monitored by his foster parents.

Since Oliver is deaf, a fence will be required in order to adopt him. Oliver would do best in a home with no other animals and no children. Oliver would flourish in a home of adults who are not interested in taking him to pet stores or dog parks, etc. He would love to hang out at home, watching movies and cuddling on the couch. A daily walk or two would be his ideal and perfect world! And Oliver knows how to walk on a treadmill so if it's a stormy or cold day and you don't feel like walking outside - just break out the treadmill and let him go!
