About Ollie
Ollie started out shy when he left a small rural shelter, but he's now brimming with confidence. He's an outgoing, affectionate dog who craves human attention and is always ready for hugs and belly rubs. Ollie wants to be involved in everything happening around him and sometimes can't contain his excitement—he’s still mastering the "OFF" command but improving each day. Sit comes naturally to him, especially when food is involved. He mixes easily with other dogs, both male and female, and adjusts quickly regardless of breed or size. Ollie politely ignores little dogs, has lived with a dog-savvy cat, and even shares space with chickens without issue. He’s house-trained and handles leash walks reasonably well. Vet visits are no problem, and he rides calmly in the car. Based on his temperament and looks, Ollie seems to be a mix of Great Pyrenees and Akbash, or possibly Great Pyrenees with Labrador. He has more energy than a typical laid-back Pyrenees and would thrive as a companion for someone who enjoys walks, hiking, or camping. Ollie prefers the house over barn life and does not have the temperament for livestock guarding—he's more likely to chase goats than protect them. However, he'd suit a home with backyard chickens just fine. If you're seeking a friendly, high-energy, people-oriented big dog, Ollie could be your match. Ready to meet your new best friend?
