Meet Oliver!
Oliver or Ollie for short is a precious 2 year old, 13lb Shih Tzu with a gentle soul and a heart ready to love! He's a mill survivor, which means his early life didn't include many of the comforts and kindness many pups experience- but he is making up for lost time beautifully. Because of his background, Ollie can be a little shy at first. With patience and reassurance, he quickly shows how much he wants to connect.
Once Oliver feels safe, his personality shines! One of his superpowers is he is a quick learner. He already understands routine and thrives when he knows what to expect next. He's doing exceptionally well with a consistent schedule and gentle guidance. He adores his foster family, especially the guys! They have to stick together you know. When mom is relaxing though he seeks her warm lap for some R&R. He's part of the pack with his foster Labradors running right along with them and coexists calmly with the cats. While he hasn't had much direct exposure to children, he is quiet, non-reactive, observant, and would benefit from gradual, positive introduction as he continues to build confidence.
Ollie is doing well on a leash and learning what walks are about. With more time and practice, he's well on his way to becoming an expert little walking buddy. He is also learning to potty outside and is making steady progress, but he will need a home willing to continue supporting him in mastering this skill.
Perhaps his greatest superpower is his love of snuggling. His foster mom has certified him as an expert spooner, Whether it's curling up at night or settling in for a mid afternoon nap. He loves being close to people- on the couch, at your feet, or tucked in beside you; he brings a quiet, comforting presence to the home.
Oliver will thrive with a kind, understanding family that appreciates his gentle nature and gives him time and love to continue blossoming.
Oliver is currently being fostered in the Lebanon, OH area. His adoption fee is $450.00.
To adopt this animal, please visit https://www.louieslegacy.org/adopt
All of our animals come spayed or neutered, up to date on age appropriate vaccinations, are microchipped, heartworm negative, current on flea/tick and heartworm prevention, dewormed, and treated for any ailments found upon veterinary examination. The adoption fee covers a portion of these services, and makes it possible for us to continue rescuing animals.
For more information on the adoption fees and the adoption process, please complete our adoption application here: https://www.louieslegacy.org/adopt - an application allows us to get to know your family better so we can assess whether the animal you are interested in is a good match for your home. An application does not obligate you to adopt. Please understand that due to the volume of applications some animals receive, we are unable to contact all applicants. If your application is considered a good fit for the animal you are interested in, or even a different pet, a volunteer will give you a call as soon as possible.
We are a foster based rescue and do not have a shelter location where animals can be seen during the week. Please see our Facebook page at https://www.facebook.com/LouiesLegacy for our weekly adoption album if you are interested in meeting an animal in person. Not all animals attend every adoption event, please check our Facebook page for animal event times and locations before you make a trip to meet a specific animal.
