MEET OLIVER….a precocious, happy, sweet-as-sugar 12.5 lbs, 3-4 yr old, tan/white Shih Tzu, with an underbite that enters the room before he does! Everyone who has met Oliver comment on how joyful he is — from the vet to the groomer — and we have to agree.

We had to include a picture of Oliver with all the toys he’s collected to illustrate how much he loves toys! He will chase after them and grab one from wherever he is…but gently and not aggressively! We have yet to hear him bark, but he doesn’t like being left alone so another pup must be in his future. We would also like his family to be around to give him a lot of love and attention, which he will return multiple times over! He is a great eater, and if there are other dogs around he might check out what they have in their bowls to make sure he has the best one! But when you direct him back to his bowl, he is compliant! Oliver also loves to get belly rubs and if you are looking to calm him down, that’s the way to do it….he actually goes into nirvana until the belly rub is over — and if he isn’t sleeping, he is busy kissing your face all over…one of his favorite things to do! Plus, his potty skills are pretty good (sorry, no guarantees) and he walks well on a leash…what more could you ask for?

The ideal home for Oliver, as mentioned above, is one where there is another dog, an attentive family, kids over 8 yrs old and lots of love. Does that sound like your home?
