About Ollie
Start your journey together! Apply now. Hey there! Meet Ollie, an energetic Australian Shepherd ready to be your new workout buddy. Action is his middle name, and he loves getting outside and moving, making him the perfect partner for those looking to stay active. Ollie has boundless energy—the kind that’s always looking for the next adventure or play session. He can run for miles, chase a ball for hours, and still have plenty of enthusiasm left for more fun at the end of the day. Being a typical representative of his breed, Ollie thrives with someone who has experience with Australian Shepherds and understands their unique quirks and high exercise needs. He’d be a great fit for someone with a farm or a fenced-in yard to give him lots of space to burn off his seemingly endless energy. The behavior team at the shelter has noticed a few quirks and will be happy to offer advice to help ensure a smooth transition for Ollie into his new home. Ollie enjoys playing with other dogs, but because he can sometimes have trouble settling down, it’s recommended to bring your dog(s) in to see if their play styles match. If you have children, please bring the whole family to meet him. Interested in knowing how he might do with cats or other small animals? Ask an adoption counselor about arranging a cat test to learn more. Make their next chapter their best one yet.
