ABOUT THIS ANIMAL:
Oliver is estimated to be around 2 years old. He requires a strict routine in order to thrive. His current foster takes him on long walks in the morning, play time in the afternoon, and an evening walk. Oliver would love to have a yard to run around/play in or a family with an active life style (lots of walks, hikes, etc). He is a big cuddler and loves affection. Loves laying on you, next to you, asking for pets and even enjoys a good lazy morning. He has done great with his feline companions. He does not chase them and respects their space. Oliver is a great learner and eager to exceed in anything you teach him. He walks great on leash without pulling. Oliver doesn't show much interest in other people, bikes, scooters, etc. Oliver does well being left alone, as long as he is well exercised daily and has a routine.
