Greyhound - Oliver - Large - Adult - Male - Dog

　　Oliver is a brindle boy, 3 1/2, who just finished a moderate race career and now only wants to race to the nearest couch. OLiver is not small dog or cat tolerant. I?m Oliver. A tall, dark brindle boy with white feet and a white tuxedo, that?s ready to party. Valentine?s Day is coming up. I should have completed training at the greyhound foster boot camp by then. I would love to wear an orchid

　　boutonniere on my tail, and sachet from party to party, with you as my companion. Are you up for that? Roo your response while the moon is full! FOSTER UPDATE: Oliver is a strikingly handsome, affectionate dog. At three and a half, he?s still part puppy, and hasn?t quite ?found himself? ? you know, like the teenagers in the 1970s - but he?ll get there.

　　He wakes up ready to play, but after the morning run, sleeps like a grey! Oliver lives with two other greyhounds and amicably shares the feeding area. However, the head dog, doesn?t like to share his doggie bed and will growl at Oliver, but the foster mom has not heard Oliver growl back.

　　Oliver enjoys meeting people of all ages, although, at first, he?s a tad tentative. The only loud noise that bothers Oliver is the vacuum ? the customary enemy of greyhounds.

　　He loves to ride in the car, is housetrained using a doggie door, and only barks when wild life have the nerve at night to walk close to his property.

　　Oliver?s foster mom is retired and doesn?t believe in crates. Oliver is food motivated and, therefore, easily trainable, so he doesn?t need crating. Like many greyhounds straight from the track, Oliver needed to gain a few pounds. Under the loving care of his foster mom, that mission has been accomplished.

　　Oliver lives on the outskirts of town on several acres, so while he walks gently with his foster mom when not on a leash, when leashed, he gets a little anxious, but patience and gentleness will quickly overcome his anxiety.

　　His foster mom is unsure whether Oliver knows his name, but believes he?s learning to respond when called. Oliver loves people and is a nuzzler. He?s a little wary of people handling his head, but this too will disappear with patience and love.
