Ready to start the new year with an affectionate and handsome new friend? Meeet Ollie, a friendly and loving young fellow looking for his forever home. * House broken and crate trained * Affectionate & Loving: Ollie is a true "people dog." He is deeply attached to his companions, and after getting to know you (he's a bit reserved at first), will come to you for gentle affection. * Playful: He likes to play and have fun, and will make you laugh. * Whimsical: Ollie has a sweet and whimsical side and enjoys life. While Ollie does not enjoy the company of cats, he does like other dogs, and enjoys playing, though he prefers dogs who are respectful of his space. PHYSICAL Ollie is a cream and tan hound mix, with a short white coat and pretty markings. He has soulful brown eyes, soft ears and an adorable sprinkle of freckles across his nose. HISTORY Ollie is a real community rescue success story! He was seen for weeks and weeks wandering around a local parking lot (you can see a few pictures from that time on his profile). Many kind people worked to gain his trust and eventually brought him into IAR. After recouperating in a foster home and gaining some weight and strength after living on his own, he is now ready to find his forever home. HEALTH Ollie currently has a limp (caused by a congenital issue or from an old injury). His limp doesn't stop him from playing and enjoying life, but he will be undergoing surgery for a hip replacement, the costs of which will be covered by IAR. With rest and daily PT exercises following surgery, he can resume his normal activity level. He is still available to be adopted now, and IAR will work with his new home throughout his surgery and recovery.
