Oliver, poodle

Oliver is a darling male poodle currently housed at HARTT - Humane Animal Rescue and Trapping Team.

Oliver will get along great with your other dogs. His ideal forever home would be a cat-free environment, and he would prefer a home without small children. He's already house-trained, neutered and vaccinated.

Notes on Oliver:

My favorite things are hanging out with my fur buddies by the pool, but no swimming for me., and watching "Life of Pets" with my favorite blanket on the couch and munching on a treat. I like to be in my little house when you are away if I am alone, or hanging out with my siblings.

More about Raja:

I'm a South African Boerboel that will change what companion means to you. The first thing you'll notice is my impressive size and my majestic eyes. I am a total clown and always ready to play. I'm still a puppy, so I have plenty of energy to burn, but at the end of the day, I just want to cuddle up next to you. As a guardian breed, I require consistent training with calm leadership followed with affection.
