Meet Ollie, a striking Shepherd mix with red and cream fur and a short coat. He’s about 7 years old and weighs in as a medium-sized companion. Ollie was adopted as a puppy and spent nearly half a decade with his family, but after a recent move, he was returned and had a tough adjustment. He’s spent the last few months slowly coming back out of his shell—where once there was heartbreak, now there’s a playful, loyal dog starting to show his best self again. Ollie’s happiest moments are when he’s playing with people he trusts. Chew toys and bones are his favorites, and he’ll keep you company for as long as you’re willing to play. While he might be shy around new people at first, once he opens up, he’s sincerely affectionate and incredibly loyal to his chosen people. Ollie does best with a patient adopter willing to give him the space and time to settle and trust. He’s selective with other dogs, so any canine housemates will need to be introduced carefully. Cats are a no-go for him. A securely fenced yard is a must for letting him safely enjoy his energy. He’s crate and leash trained, and though he was house-trained, he’ll need a quick refresher after some time in boarding. Neutered, up to date on vaccines, microchipped, and on heartworm prevention, Ollie’s ready to start his next chapter. Ready to meet your new best friend? Apply now!
