Oliver was found by himself outside a village in the region of Puglia, he was trying to get into a fenced area where there is a house because he was cold and very hungry. It is very cold in the area at this time of year, with temperatures no greater than 2/3 degrees and frequent snow. Fortunately, the people who lived in the house saw him and called the rescue.

Oliver is about 6 months old which means he is too young to be neutered prior to travel. At the appropriate age his future family will have to agree, as part of the adoption process, to have him neutered. Being only a puppy his new family will be able to have a friend for many years to come.

As with all our rescues when Oliver has been passed as medically fit to travel he will be available to foster or adopt. Understandably, at this stage we are still evaluating Oliver but all the signs are that he is a typical gentle loving setter who will make a beautiful family addition and long term companion.
