Oliver was surrendered to the HSBC when he was just 10 weeks old.  His previous owners who bought him from a breeder (for a mere $1500) decided to have him put to sleep because he wasn't "acting like a puppy."  After an extensive medical exam, x-rays, the works, it was determined that he was not UTD on his vaccinations, he had kennel cough, severe dehydration among other things.  He came to my home as a "foster puppy."  Of course after round the clock caring for 2 weeks there was no way I could not adopt this little guy.  Besides, he and my Sheltie Dancer became quick pals.  What a blessing he has been. 

Oliver is the "man" of the house.  He enjoys doing pet therapy work with the Humane Society of Broward County.  He loves playing with his sisters Cali & Sydney.  He also loves his cat and ferret family.  His best friend was Dancer who passed over the Rainbow Bridge on 10-28-2005.  Oliver loves to do "the wiggle" for everyone.  He has a great personality and loves to be the center of attention!  Oliver has trained many other dogs to do pet therapy and is the spokesdog for the education department on pet therapy for the Humane Society of Broward County.  Oliver has earned his CGC, CD and CDX titles.

Sydney was adopted on March 4, 2007.  When she was surrendered to the shelter her previous owners said she was scared of people, dogs, cats and was not housebroken.  Wow!  Who would want a dog like that?  Well, we did, that is our pack did!  We knew that with proper training, socialization and lots of love (treats help too) she would be just fine.  And guess what?  She wasn't scared of the dogs, cats or the ferrets!  She was a little shy around new people but is doing just great.  She loves her pack and is sure glad to have found her "forever home."
