Oliver

Male · Young · 1 year

Oliver Birthday: 5 February 2025 Sex: Male Breed: Mixed Size: Medium Summary Placid, calm and gentle, handsome Oliver is a happy, balanced, affectionate dog with an air of distinguished nobility. History Oliver was one of an unwanted litter of 6 puppies, just weeks old, crammed into a food crate and displayed in the boot of a car in the heat of the day along with their mother, Elsie. The sanctuary took them all. Immediate round the clock care and the doting attention of Elsie has meant that Oliver and his sisters Eliza and Soxy have grown and flourished. They are now ready for their perfect family. Behaviour A good natured, tolerant dog, Oliver loves playing with the other dogs in the sanctuary. As a puppy he was a star player with his football and rugby ball! Equally, he will lay down quietly and watch the action from the side lines. Oliver gets excited at the prospect of walking on a lead but soon settles and walks beautifully. He already understands basic commands and being highly food orientated he has the potential to excel at training. Compatibility Oliver is compatible with other dogs, great with cats and would be suitable for children 10 years and over. Medical: Fully vaccinated, neutered, microchipped and will be screened for all mediterranean diseases before departing for his new life.

About Oliver

What life with Oliver looks like

Oliver is a medium-sized young adult dog waiting at Hounds of Love Rescue in United Kingdom.

An young adult dog fits most household rhythms once the first couple of weeks of adjustment pass. Two reasonable walks a day plus play time is usually enough. Plan a "decompression fortnight" — quiet routine, no visitors, no off-leash adventures — to let them settle.

🇬🇧Adopting from United Kingdom

UK shelters work under the Pet Travel Scheme (post-Brexit, the EU pet passport is not valid; a UK Animal Health Certificate is required for travel into the EU). Most UK rescues focus on domestic placements but some work with EU partners.

Frequently asked

Adopting Oliver, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Oliver?
Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Hounds of Love Rescue handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Oliver on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Oliver if I live in another country?
Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Hounds of Love Rescue will tell you what they need (EU pet passport, rabies titer, transport coordination) and whether they handle transport themselves or refer you to a partner. UK adopters: post-Brexit travel into the EU requires an Animal Health Certificate. Plan for an extra €100–€350 in transport costs depending on distance.
Is Oliver already vetted, vaccinated, and chipped?
Most dogs on TailHarbor leave their shelter with sterilization, current vaccinations, microchip ID, and an EU pet passport included in the adoption fee. The vet status on this page reflects what the shelter has reported — ask them directly if you need details on specific vaccines, recent bloodwork, or chronic conditions.
What happens if Oliver isn't the right fit?
Every reputable rescue accepts an animal back if the adoption genuinely doesn't work — that's part of the standard contract. Talk it through with Hounds of Love Rescue early rather than rehoming privately; they know Oliver and can place them more successfully than a second-hand listing can.
Why does the description sometimes read awkwardly?
TailHarbor translates shelter descriptions into English from the source language (EN). Translation is imperfect — names of streets, donors, and shelter-specific terms occasionally slip through unidiomatically. For the cleanest read, click the source link to see the shelter's original page.
