Our Story

The Little Oliver Foundation is a 501(c)(3) charity organization dedicated to helping animals who have been victims of abuse and neglect. It was founded by Taunya Damon at the end of 2016 when she was inspired by her own dog, Oliver, who was a victim of abuse and neglect by his previous owner. Taunya was also inspired by the story of Libre, the Boston Terrier puppy found in the dirt, left to die at a puppy mill until compassionate people stepped in and saved him. In both cases, the recommendation was euthanasia, but in both cases they were given a second chance and are now thriving, happy pups! It is our mission to aid in the recovery and/or rehabilitation of animals who have been the victim of abuse and/or neglect through donations of supplies, providing relief of medical costs and/or rehabilitation fees, and other means deemed appropriate by the Foundation. No animal should ever suffer through what Oliver and Libre went through, but as long as there are caring people out there that are willing to give these animals a second chance at a happy and healthy life, then we will be there to help them with that journey. Since we are a new organization it will take time for us to grow into the foundation we are hoping to become. Because we are a 501(c)(3) Non-Profit organization, any donations you make to our organization are tax deductible and allow us to help more animals in need. We value and appreciate your support. Oliver's Story: Oliver was found tied to a bench in the city and left to die. Luckily a good Samaritan found him and brought him into the local emergency animal clinic. When Oliver arrived he was unable to walk and having seizures. His body condition was poor and his hair was thin. The recommendation by the emergency doctors was initially to euthanize, but luckily they made the decision to give him the night on fluids and medication to see if there was any improvement. The prognosis was poor, but Oliver was a fighter and showed small signs of improvement so the doctors continued care. Oliver was hospitalized for a month before he was stable and walking well enough to be adopted out, but unfortunately due to his medical needs and seizures he was not a good adoption candidate. Taunya happened to work at the emergency hospital and fell in love with Oliver. She vowed to raise the money to get all the care and diagnostics needed for Oliver to live a happy, healthy life. After the diagnostics were done it was determined that Oliver had suffered from head trauma, causing fluid build-up on the brain which was the cause of his seizures. He also had a nuclear med procedure and a liver biopsy due to liver issues. Doctors feared he might have a liver shunt, but after the diagnostics it was found that his liver issues were most likely caused by malnutrition and poor care, but these issues have since corrected themselves with proper nutrition and care. Oliver's head injury has healed now and he no longer has to take seizure medication. He also was treated for a demodex overgrowth and skin infection which has since been resolved and he's now growing his hair back in the places where he once had none. Due to the diligent care of the doctors and the unwavering devotion of his new mom, Oliver is a happy, thriving puppy.
