A Puppy For Oliver - India's Special Birthday Wish

Donate to or share Oliver's Gofundme: ift.tt/2U0E4pq It's India's 4th birthday and she has made a very special wish! Many of our lovely viewers have asked if they can send her a gift. We are so grateful for your generosity, but there is something special that India really wants... A puppy for her cousin Oliver. Oliver is a wonderful little boy, he enjoys many of the same things that India does. Like India, people are drawn to his smile and gorgeous character! Oliver has been diagnosed with high functioning autism. Every day he amazes his family with his ability to solve puzzles and show his love and affection. Often, he needs the opportunity to be in a quiet place and is most comfortable with little to no light. Oliver’s speech is limited so he rarely speaks and he does not respond to his name. He is very quiet, very fast, and tends to wander. A service dog for Oliver would have so many benefits. The dog would be a trained companion, providing much needed comfort that will ease Oliver's anxiety. Training in search and rescue skills would help keep Oliver safe and give his parents peace of mind. The dog would receive 6 months extensive training for Oliver's specific needs and then monthly classes for the rest of the animal's lifespan. To find out more about the benefits of therapy dogs and the training involved, you can visit the trainer's website: ift.tt/2ihN4Zo Or visit the gofundme, set up by Oliver's Dad Mark and read their story. The updates provide real insight into life with a beautiful, autistic child and plenty of information about the ways in which a service dog will enrich Oliver's life. ift.tt/2U0E4pq It is not easy to explain autism to a small child, Brubba did an amazing job but if you want to learn more about autism you can visit the Autism Speaks website here: ift.tt/1A5Lsx0 Thank you so much for watching. Please donate if you can or share this video with everyone you know! Let's spread the word and get Oliver his puppy! #autism #therapydog #dearindiarose #puppyforoliver #love #asd #birthdaywish #cousins #bestfriends #family #donate #gofundme #autismawareness #puppy #brotherandsister #cutekids #support
