Oliver’s New Lust For Life

Oliver just may have the biggest, blackest eyes of any small white dog you’ll ever see. Yet how ironic that as big as they are, they provide no ability for Oliver to see the world around him. This gorgeous little Maltipoo, about 8 years old and weighing 10 lbs. (if even), came into Baldwin Park shelter as stray wearing a collar but no ID tag. And although his view of the world is as dark as his eyes, this happy-go-lucky guy doesn’t let that slow him down.

He is incredibly sweet and friendly toward humans and other animals. And he adapts quickly to new environments, maneuvering around anything in his path or finding the quickest route to jump up on your bed! Oliver saw a specialist about his eyes, and sadly there is nothing that can be done to restore some of his vision. But don’t cry for him — admire him for not letting his lack of vision slow him down. Better yet — welcome him into your home and give him the love and security he deserves. This little boy should never be on the streets again.

“Thank you so much for the Muffin’s Halo for Oliver! He walks more confidently now, knowing that bumping into things won’t hurt. He hasn’t said “ouch” in days! How wonderful that Silvie Bordeaux invented such a helpful product, and that she was so willing to share it with Oliver. An enormous kindness on her non-profit “Second Chances For Blind Dogs” part!

Oliver is a happy little camper with everyone’s attention and the gift of greater mobility.”
