Oliver

Adopt Oliver - What can I say about little Oliver. He was brought to the animal shelter with his mom when he was about a day old. I have watched him grow to a wonderful young boy with a big heart. He loves to play with his siblings and would make someone a wonderful new best friend. He has received his first puppy shots and worming. He is ready to find his place in this world, and I hope it's with a wonderful family.
