About Olsen
Olsen is the more laid-back brother, a real snuggler at heart. While he enjoys playing fetch, he would rather curl up next to you than chase a ball. His affectionate nature means he thrives on attention and companionship. He’s been great with the three cats in his foster home, showing no signs of aggression or chasing. His interactions with a Blue Heeler mix have been equally positive; it took some time for them to get used to his enthusiastic play style, but they've formed a wonderful bond. Olsen is fantastic with adults and has a playful rapport with his 12-year-old foster sibling, though he hasn’t been around younger kids yet. He is kennel trained and shows no bad habits—he barks when he needs to go outside and has mostly mastered potty training. In terms of obedience, he knows “sit” and is currently learning “lay down.” He gets understandably excited during mealtimes, leaping four feet in the air when he sees food, but he’s learning to wait patiently instead of jumping around. This affectionate, smart dog would fit beautifully into a home looking for a playful yet steady companion. If you’re interested in Olsen, don’t hesitate to reach out.
