Ms. Oliphant here is a very sweet girl who really wants some love but has seemingly had some bad experiences that have left her with trust issues. She has shown that once she gets to know somebody, she is the most snuggly, friendly pup in the world. However, she does take a minute to warm up to new people and while she's getting to know you, she can be quite nervous about you. She will warn you if she doesn't know you well enough to snuggle yet, but younger kids may not be able to understand her warnings, so she may not be the best playmate for little kids. If you've got some patience for this very sweet girl, you won't be disappointed!

If you're on the fence about about adopting, maybe fostering is for you! Dogs like Oliphant can benefit greatly from a little time out of the shelter with humans that love them, even if its just for a week or two.
