Oliver's Story

Hi, I'm Oliver! And I have a LOT to tell you! <br/><br/>I'm a handsome 5-ish-year-old German Shepherd looking for my forever family. I'm playful, affectionate, and have a few very important things you should know about me.<br/><br/>First of all, I LOVE to play fetch! Throw the ball and I'll be ready to go! When playtime is over, though, I have another favorite activity: cuddling with my soft, squeaky toys in my crate. Yes, I said cuddling. A guy can be both playful AND a snuggle bug. <br/><br/>I'm also a big fan of:<br/> Kids—even the little ones!<br/> Butt scratches (seriously, they're the best!)<br/> Bones with cream cheese—because plain bones are simply not fancy enough. <br/> Soft, squeaky toys for cuddling<br/> Talking! I'm what you might call a little chatty. I have opinions, and I'm not afraid to share them!<br/><br/>I'm great on a leash, although I am a strong boy, so I'll need someone who can handle my strength. <br/><br/>I'm also crate trained, and my crate is my happy place when I have my favorite squeaky toy to keep me company.<br/><br/>Now for my very important "fun fact": I have BLACK SPOTS ON MY TONGUE!<br/><br/>Yep, they're real. No fancy doggy tongue art required. They make me extra special and give me a little something that sets me apart from the crowd.<br/><br/>I'm looking for a home where I'll be the only four-legged child. No other dogs or cats for me, please. I'd much rather have all the love, attention, toys, and cream-cheese bones for myself!<br/><br/>I do have a couple of special dietary needs. I take an antacid every day and eat kibble with ONLY beef canned food mixed in. It's a small part of taking care of me, and my future family will get all the details they need to keep me happy and healthy.<br/><br/>I'm a playful, loving boy with a big personality and an even bigger heart. <br/><br/>And if you're not local, that's okay! For the right family and circumstance, I can be transported to another state, with transportation arranged by my rescue mom. My furever family could be anywhere!<br/><br/>So... are you looking for a German Shepherd who will play fetch with you, cuddle with his squeaky toys, adore your kids, entertain you with his conversations, and occasionally show off his spotted tongue?<br/><br/>Then maybe you've just found your guy. I'm Oliver, and I'm ready to meet you! Want to meet me? Give my rescue mom a call at 901-570-1488!<br/><br/>P.S. If you have cream cheese, we're probably already best friends. Just saying.

Memphis and Midsouth Animal Advocates's Adoption Policy
I am careful and conservative......lots of information gathering, several meetings at their home and at the rescue. I contact their Vet references if they have cared for animals before. Mandatory three training sessions that I attend with them and the pet if they have never had a pet before. We supervise the introductions of their current animals and their prospective pet. We provide aftercare followup and advice for the lifetime of their pet. We insist in the contract that the pet comes back to us immediately if they don't work in their adoptive family. Our dogs in the Midsouth need to be indoor dogs, no chains or tethers unless their person is outside with them, such as gardening in the front yard or camping.
