* We will not be transporting Oliver. All approved applicants must be willing to travel to Ocala, Florida. *My name is Oliver. Oliver with the Half-Stache and my biggest hope is that my someone is out there who will love me for who I am now, and what I’m going to be one day! I didn’t have the greatest start in life and I’m still learning things that other dogs already know. Good thing I’ve got some smarts and want-tos! I was given to a place where doggies go when their person doesn’t want them anymore. It made me sad and scared. I wish I could use color sticks and write down what my life was like before the nice Brittany people got me here with ABR. But I think they know that I went long times without food or water. I’m feeling strong now because I get all the food and water I need! I’m not as afraid as I was before when my bowl was empty. I didn’t like to hear my tummy growlies. I feel happy and free and I can be me now! I love playing with other dogs! My foster mommy has 3 Brittanys like me! And she has a doggie daycare where I play with friends. My foster mommy says I gots lots of energies! And sometimes it bubbles out and it’s fun to be goofy and silly and free! She says that’s ok because when she tells me to focus I do! I’m super duper good at sit (actually I’m still a little confused with sit and lay down so I just make sure to do a cute sit then throw myself really fast into a lay down! See? I told you I got some smarts in me!)I loves food! My food! Your food! All the foods! I loves water and little 2 leggers. Emmy is the really sweet 2 legger that is 4 and calls me Olive Oil. The other 2 legger boy is 1 and I’m careful not to bump him when he’s walking. I gives them good kisses. I loves the car rides too! Oh, and naps….I love long naps.My foster mommy’s gonna tell you some more about me. I’m gonna go find a snack.Oliver touched my heart the first time I saw his picture. Big, beautiful eyes that looked so lost. I’m so happy I get to be his foster mommy! He has been wonderful since day one. My environment is not always an easy one to enter. He nailed it! I do encourage meal routine be shared with my Brittanys. He did wonderful and we have not had a single issue at meal time. However, Oliver does still need to be watched with food due to his past and not having it for days. I feel he is loosing the fear of not having food more and more each day and I don’t see it as a long term situation. With consistency, boundaries and understanding he will conquer it.Oliver is a true joy to have in our home. He looks to be 1 1/2 years old. He is playful, energetic but not hyper. Goofy at times. Loving but not needy. Very willing to please and learn. Healthy and strong. Very social and friendly with other dogs. He does all of his business outside and has never had an accident. Mostly he is just happy….he has reached the point of letting his past go and he is just a happy, happy boy. There is nothing about this boy I don’t love. I feel he has amazing potential. If you think you are my human and can give me an amazing forever home, please fill out an adoption application!
