Brindle Terrier/Pit Bull Mix Who Has Many Health Issues Is Now Ready For A Loving Home | forgotten friends

HELOTES, Texas – Our Forgotten Friends series tells each week about a dog or cat that has spent a long time at the local shelter, just waiting for someone to notice them and bring them home to love.

Say hello to Oliver, a terrier-pit bull cross who found many health problems on the street and was rescued by the Helot Animal Society. He is just over a year old and weighs about 40 pounds.

When first found, he was described as a “mess” with some ear problems, wormy intestines, some intestinal problems, skin abscesses, and also tested positive for tick-borne disease.

HHS took him to the vet, cured and neutered him, and now that he’s healthy again, he’s ready for a loving family.

Oliver is very friendly and loves to be around people. He is currently in foster care with many other dogs and gets along great with all of them.

Oliver has a lot of energy, so he would be best off living in a house with active people.

Oliver has a very interesting color called brindle. It is sometimes referred to as “brindle-striped”, although the brindle pattern is more subtle than that of the brindle coat. The color is seen in dogs, cattle, guinea pigs, cats, and sometimes even horses.

This medium sized dog is both crate and house trained. Oliver will need a secure, fenced-in yard to potty, walk, and run around under the supervision of his new family. He will not be happy in an apartment, because there simply is not enough indoor and outdoor space that he needs.

Oliver has never met a toy that he didn’t like. The same is true for other dogs and people. But the same cannot be said for cats. Oliver loves to chase them.

It would be very useful for Oliver to train the dog and take him for walks every day.

Do you think Oliver is right for you and your family? Contact the Society for the Protection of Animals and arrange a meeting.

For those who adopt Oliver, Lucy’s Doggy Daycare & Spa lend a paw by offering them a free day of The Shines at the spa, which includes a massage bath and Pawdicure. One of Lucy’s most cherished values ​​is to continue Lucy’s cause of helping puppies in need, as Lucy herself was a lifesaver!
