Ollie is a 3-year-old male black Lab mix weighing 60 lbs. He was found as a stray in Oakland and has had quite the journey since then. After being adopted at just three months old, he faced challenges, especially after a dog attack left him sensitive and fear-reactive around new people and unfamiliar dogs. Recently, he exhibited this fear by biting a dog sitter who approached too quickly. Despite these past experiences, Ollie has made significant progress thanks to patient, consistent care. At home, Ollie is sweet, playful, and loyal. He lies mellow and easygoing, often sleeping through the night and enjoying playtime with toys. Ollie loves daily walks, swimming, and relaxing with his family. He is house-trained and knows several commands such as sit, stay, and wait. Though he can be protective, especially around new arrivals, once he trusts you, he shows a loving, fun side. Ollie is food motivated, which makes him eager to learn and follow commands. He would thrive best in a suburban or rural home with an active family, ideally with experience in handling fearful or reactive dogs. Ollie is not suitable for homes with young children, cats, or small animals. If a loyal companion who loves being outdoors and is committed to his well-being sounds like a match, Ollie could be your perfect fit. Ready to meet your new best friend? Apply now!
