Introducing Oliver and his best bud, Lupin – A Bonded Pair Looking for a Soft Place to Land.

Oliver and Lupin came into our care when their previous guardians could no longer care for them. They are a devoted pair of senior dogs seeking a loving, patient home where their unique needs can be met together. Their bond is truly something special, so we are looking for a home for them where they can stay together.

Oliver is a 9-year-old Pit Bull with the heart of a teddy bear. He is incredibly sweet, people oriented, and affectionate, always happy to soak up some attention. Oliver has some mobility challenges, including arthritis and early hip dysplasia, so he’ll need an adopter who understands the importance of slow, relaxed walks, a home with minimal stairs and some pain management. Oliver is also on a special prescription diet to help clear up some dermatitis. We believe it is related to some food allergies, and since we’ve changed his diet it is healing nicely.

Lupin, an 8-year-old Wheaten Terrier mix, brings energy and enthusiasm to the duo. He is full of life and has a big personality to match. Lupin can be vocal when left alone and struggles with some anxiety, so he would do best with a consistent routine and an adopter committed to helping him build confidence. He will thrive in a home that can provide structure, reassurance, and understanding. Maybe a family with varied schedules, or someone who works form home part time. Lupin also has urinary crystals and must remain on a prescription urinary diet until they clear.

Together, Oliver and Lupin are inseparable. They rely on each other for comfort and support and can often be found cuddled up together and licking each other’s faces.

This special pair is looking for a compassionate adopter who understands that senior dogs come with extra considerations, but also great rewards. If you’re ready to open your heart and home to two dogs who give as much love as they receive, Oliver and Lupin may be the perfect companions for you.

Come by the West Vancouver centre and meet them in person, or apply online! Adoption hours are 12-3pm, Tuesday-Sunday (closed on Mondays).
