About Oliver
Foster or adopter needed ASAP!! Please help Oliver!!
This beautiful bronze hunk of pure love has been waiting his whole life to be your new best friend. He was in the Contra Costa shelter for about 6 weeks and scheduled to be killed so I saved him at the last minute because he’s such an awesome and gentle dude. He deserves the chance for YOU to find him. Unfortunately, he needs a new foster or adopter URGENTLY because we are quickly running out of the time we’re able to keep him. Oliver has an endless amount of love to give. His absolute favorite activity is to lay his XL head on your leg and just soak in your pets.

Oliver was a staff favorite at the shelter, often hanging out with them in the office. He is very chill and just ready to do whatever you want. Couch surfing, fishing, gardening, short or long walks, runs, fetch…. He will chill with you if you want to chill, and he will be active with you want some action.
Oliver is a healthy 85 pound 5ish year old Catahoula mix (maybe mixed with American Bulldog). Based on the nuances of his behavior, and some physical scarring that he has, I believe he started life as a regular family dog in a house. Then at some point, someone else got him and kept him on a chain or braided steel tether on concrete, most or all of the time. Oliver is missing some teeth and will instantly start gnawing on a leash if he is tied up, which I suspect comes from being neglected while tied up. He has scars on his elbows and legs from laying on concrete. He was either let go or escaped, and then picked up as a stray. Despite the cruelty, he absolutely loves people.
Oliver is located in Vallejo, CA
