Oliver is a male approximately one and a half years old. He is a confident guy who can handle rowdy play even with a 75-lb. shepherd mix. He can quickly rise to the pack leader if he is left to making that decision. Oliver can climb and jump so he needs to be an inside dog when his humans are away. He is completely housetrained and is comfortable in his crate when needed. His energy level is pretty high and he loves long walks. He cuddles up nicely too when he is ready for a nap. Oliver loves his tummy rubs and kisses. He would prefer being adopted into a home where there are other dogs so he could play a lot. He has basic manners down pat, but needs a little training to polish him up. He will bark to greet visitors or to let the other dogs know his intentions. Older family would be ideal and with time to spend on a walk, playtime and cuddling. Because of his small size, older children preferred in the family.
