Oliver is an owner turn in. He was not turned in because he was a bad dog - in fact Oliver was a very nice dog. His owners were just too young and unable to care for him properly.

His first night at the kennel was so frightening for Oliver, he decided to climb the 8 foot fence to get out only to find himself in the other kennel next door. Yup, Oliver can climb.

Oliver is a little over a year old. He still has some puppy energy. Since being with Coastal, and walking with our volunteers, Oliver has learned leash manners and basic commands. He sits on command and can walk "politely" on a leash.

Oliver is friendly to the people he meets and he gets along with most dogs provided he has a proper introduction. He is a very handsome young fellow! He wants to learn more about the big world out there because before he came to Coastal, his world was only his backyard. Oliver is a little insecure around other dogs and it would be best if he went into a home that does not currently have a dogs so he can settle in and relax.
