Ollie spent much of his puppyhood isolated in a garage, with little socialization and fed whatever was available—including the occasional sweet treat—so his foundation isn’t what most dogs start with. He’s a Malti-Chon (Maltese–Bichon Frise mix) with a white, long coat and weighs about 14 pounds. Now in foster care in Santa Monica, Ollie’s personality has flourished. He’s playful, affectionate, and eager to be close to people, trailing after his humans and always up for a snuggle or a game of fetch. He does well with other small dogs and is easygoing around cats. Ollie is non-reactive and gentle, with no aggression, and is fully house trained. He adjusts quickly in a stable, calm environment and learns fast with praise. Because his start in life left him sensitive, he’s best suited to adults or older, calmer kids. He’ll need adopters who can commit to daily exercise and enrichment, are attentive to grooming and regular vet care, and who have experience as responsible dog owners. Ollie is neutered, vaccinated, microchipped, and in great health—ready for a quiet, caring home where he’ll always be part of the action, never forgotten. Ollie is in Santa Monica, CA, but can meet adopters in Northern California if the home is a strong fit. Click apply to start the adoption process.
