Oliver

My story

**OVERT OLIVER** Age 2yrs Phoenix AZ. Please help us welcome Oliver to the FTP family. Oliver was found as a stray and one of our volunteers took him in. No family could be found so we are happy to provide a safe-haven for him. We gave him a name, a safe landing spot, full vet care and check-up, and the opportunity to find a fur-ever family! We gave him the adjective "Overt" because it is plainly and readily apparent that he needs time and space to adjust to new surroundings. He does not keep his feelings secret and that needs to be honored and respected by a potential family. He is the breed of dog everyone wants...a gorgeous Maltipoo....but it is about what Oliver needs and that is time to decompress and get comfortable in an unfamiliar environment with new people. Oliver needs at least 3 days in a new home to really just be left alone, he does not want to be touched....we do not know what he has been through....but we have figured out what he needs. He needs "let me figure s*it out and settle in" time. Once he does, he's AH-mazing! He is clearly photogenic, loves his foster friends, loves to play fetch and chase the birds in the yard. Oliver is neutered, UTD on shots and microchipped. If you are looking for an immediate connection with a loveable lap-dog....Oliver is not for you. If, however, you are willing to put in the time, energy, compassion, love and understanding of Olivers needs....then he will make the most loyal and amazing fur-baby fur-ever. If you think you have what it takes to open your heart and your home to Oliver, please fill out an application and set up a meet!

If you have any questions or would like to adopt Oliver, please reach out to the adoption group directly. PetSmart Charities does not facilitate the adoption process. Thank you.
