Notes from Labradors and Friends Dog Rescue Group

Meet Oliver!

Looking for a fun-loving, affectionate companion with a big personality? Oliver is your guy!

At just 2 years old, this playful boy is full of puppy spirit. He loves tossing toys in the air, showing off his zoomies, and splashing through puddles. He’s always finding ways to entertain himself and make you laugh!

When playtime is over, Oliver is happy to curl up beside you for snuggles. He’s potty trained, rides great in the car, and loves tagging along on adventures to parks, stores, and coffee shops.

Oliver LOVES people! He’s a social butterfly who adores attention from adults and kids alike. He’s especially sweet and gentle with children, and the feeling is mutual! Like many young, enthusiastic dogs, Oliver can occasionally get a little mouthy when overstimulated. He responds well to calm, consistent guidance and is learning when it’s time to settle down. With thoughtful supervision and a family committed to helping him succeed, Oliver could be a wonderful addition to a home with children.

This smart boy knows sit, paw, and other paw—and sometimes offers up all his tricks at once in hopes of earning a treat! He even takes treats incredibly gently. He’s eager to learn and continues to make great progress with consistent guidance.

Oliver would thrive with an active, dog-savvy adopter who enjoys daily walks, playtime, and helping a young dog continue learning his manners. A fenced yard for his legendary zoomies would be a wonderful bonus!

Funny, affectionate, adventurous, and just a little mischievous, Oliver is ready to be someone’s favorite adventure buddy and snuggle partner.

Could Oliver be the missing piece of your family?
