About Ollie

Ollie is someone you’d want in your life. He’s a 5-year-old mixed breed who weighs around 60 pounds and brings a loving personality to the table. Having been adopted from Lighthouse Animal Shelter two years ago, he’s now looking for a new home through a courtesy post, due to no fault of his own. His family is committed to ensuring he finds a place where he’ll be happy and loved. A people-oriented dog, Ollie adores chin scratches and belly rubs. He responds well to basic commands and thrives in an active environment. While he enjoys the company of other dogs, he would do best as the only pet or with another dog of similar size that appreciates a playful dynamic. Ollie's ideal family would be one with older children who can match his energy and keep him engaged. This adoption is directly managed by Ollie’s current family, and Lighthouse Animal Shelter is helping with the pre-screening process. If you think you can provide the love and attention Ollie deserves, reach out to the shelter to learn more and start the pre-screening process. Ollie truly deserves another shot at a forever home, and with your help, he can find it.
