Oliver

I had been thinking seriously about adopting a dog for months, and even planned my recent move around finding an apartment community that allows dogs. I put an application on file with PUP and asked Trish for her recommendations on dogs that would do well with my living situation and lifestyle. She sent me a great list of wonderful pups, and on that list was dear, sweet Oliver.

Oliver's page on Petfinder caught my eye and I just kept coming back to it over and over again. He just looked like the sweetest, most loving little buddy and there was just something unique about him. Something told me he was my dog, so I worked with Trish to arrange a meeting with Oliver, PUP, and Oliver's foster parents.

As soon as I saw the little guy, my heart melted. PUP and Oliver's foster dad were incredibly kind, patient, and informative. There was no pressure to adopt and they were very honest about his temperament and needs. They gave me plenty of time to get to know him and think carefully about my decision. I was honestly touched by how thorough everyone was and how much they cared about Oliver being taken into the right home.

Since the day Oliver came home with me, he has in fact been the sweetest, most loving little buddy I could ever ask for. We have bonded and I take him everywhere I can. We're fortunate to live next to the pet store and animal hospital, which means he's going to be something of a spoiled pup. We also begin obedience training this week. Oliver can be very shy, but he is warm, loyal, and SO snuggly!

I cannot thank PUP enough for bringing Oliver into my life. He is a sweetheart and I feel lucky to be able to make him a part of my family!
