About Christy & Oliver

Christy and Oliver are a devoted mother-and-son duo ready to begin their next chapter together in a loving, patient home.Christy is an approximately 2-year-old Maremma Sheepdog who knows what it means to overcome hardship. After being abandoned and left living outdoors, this gentle girl has shown incredible resilience. She may be timid at first, but Christy truly loves people and blossoms with patience and kindness. Once she feels safe, her sweet and loyal nature shines through. Christy has been spayed and is up to date on her vaccinations. Upon arrival, she was diagnosed with Lyme disease. She has since been treated, is currently asymptomatic, and simply requires yearly monitoring to ensure she continues to thrive. Oliver, about 1 year old and believed to be Christy’s son, is her constant companion and shadow. The two share a beautiful bond and love spending time together outdoors, whether it’s exploring the yard or enjoying peaceful walks side by side. Oliver is the more timid of the pair and had very limited human interaction before coming into care. He was quite feral when he first arrived, but he is slowly learning what affection, safety, and love feel like. Watching him discover trust has been incredibly rewarding. Like Christy, Oliver was also diagnosed with Lyme disease. He has completed treatment and will require regular monitoring to ensure he remains healthy and does not need additional antibiotics in the future. In addition, Oliver was diagnosed with a luxating patella in his left leg, which has been surgically repaired. He is healing beautifully and is almost ready to run and play freely with Christy again — something he is very much looking forward to! Together, Christy and Oliver are looking for a calm, understanding home that will give them the time and reassurance they need to continue building confidence. In return, they will offer unwavering loyalty, gentle companionship, and the special joy that comes from earning the trust of dogs who truly appreciate being loved. If you have room in your heart and home for two deserving souls, Christy and Oliver are ready to meet you.
