Oliver James - Maltese and Shih Tzu Dog for Adoption in Berwick, Pennsylvania

You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.This sweet boy is sure to steal your heart! Oliver is a 6 year old shitzu/Maltese mix who was rehomed due to territorial marking in the home. Since being in foster care he’s been doing great wearing a belly band. The marking has improved tremendously and he has been accident free for the majority of his time in foster care. Oliver is a mellow guy who would enjoy a quiet home. You will usually find him lounging on the floor in whatever room his people are in. He does well with other dogs but could also be your one and only. Oliver does not enjoy living with cats, so a feline free home is a must. Oliver came into the rescue slightly overweight so his new family needs to help him maintain a healthy lifestyle with proper diet and exercise. Oliver loves an evening stroll around the neighborhood and walks well on leash. Overall Oliver is an easy going guy who has nothing but love to give! Oliver is neutered, up to date with vaccines, microchipped and on monthly flea/heartworm prevention. He is fostered in Northumberland County Pa.IMPORTANT - PLEASE READ
