Story
This is Oliver! 9-year old Oliver was surrendered by his family to the OC Shelter. With the help of some quick volunteers, we exited Oliver from the shelter on the day he was scheduled to be euthanized. I don't get too frustrated anymore when a dog is surrendered in poor condition like Oliver. It's all too common... Oliver had a giant mass on his belly and a bloody dangler on his lip. He had two ruptured CCLs and he could hardly put weight on his back legs. We did surgery to remove his masses and performed a bilateral TPLO to help with his painful, inefficient back legs. This surgery is not cheap and not one we often pursue on our Frosted Faces, but Oliver is one of our younger seniors who will thrive with the gift of mobility and comfort for many years, we hope! Oliver loves the company of humans. he brightens up and wanders behind you, as loyal as your own shadow. His big eyes fill with hope that you will lounge with him of the fluffiest of beds and let his head rest in your lap. Oliver got to go on a 2-week Frosted Fling and we got to learn some great things about how he acts in a home! Oliver is not a picky eater. He loves to eat everything, but might have a sensitive stomach - he got a little gassy with certain types of foods so it might take some experimenting to find out what works well. Don't worry, your nose will let you know! Oliver seems to be house broken and did a good job doing his business outside once he learned his Fling family's schedule. Good boy, Oliver! Oliver seemed to do well with other dogs that he met on walks, but can get a little bit excited about meeting new friends at first. After some time to calm down, he played well with other dogs. Oliver is a meandering walker - where do you need to go so fast anyway? He is a quiet boy, and loves cuddles, but don't let that fool you. He loves to play! Oliver gets short spurts of energy after mealtimes where he will romp around, fetch stuffies, and chew on balls. His Fling family says, "Oliver is a fantastic dog. He is such a chill and quiet guy. If you're home, he's going to want to be in the same room as you. If you're not home, that's ok too! He's happy to nap, snack, or stare out the window while you're gone. We were really impressed with how amazing Olli was with us when we were eating. We like to eat at the coffee table near his bed, and he never once begged. He would lift his nose and sniff with curiosity, but he would never ever approach to beg. One of our favorite things about Oliver is that he is such a cuddle bug, and that he loved being tucked in for bed. We would cuddle to watch TV before bed each evening, and then I'd tuck him into a burrito before slipping into my bed. Sometimes, he'd be in the exact same spot we had tucked him in from the night before. On other mornings, if we left the bedroom before him, he'd come walking out looking for us while dragging the blanket along still on his back." Oliver lives in a foster home.
