Ollie is a gentle, soulful German Shepherd mix who’s just starting to come out of her shell. She looks to her handler for cues, a sign of her deepening trust. At home, Ollie is incredibly quiet—no barking or whining—and brings a tender, calming presence to any space. When she feels secure, flashes of her playful side begin to show. She loves her crate, often curling up with a chew toy or beef cheek to unwind. Ollie does have a strong prey drive, particularly around chickens, so a home without chickens or small animals is a must. She’s a medium-energy dog who thrives on structure and routine. A secure yard is key; she can clear fences over five feet, so she’ll need a properly fenced space. She’s neutral with calm dogs and could do well with the right canine companion. Basic commands like "sit" and "leave it" are coming along, and she’s getting used to walking on leash with a slip collar. Ollie is mostly house trained and will do best with someone who can offer consistent support and a gentle schedule. She’s spayed, microchipped, up to date on vaccines, and currently in Hayward, CA.
