About Ollie

Meet Ollie! This charming 5-month-old Samoyed and Border Collie mix is all about puppy love at 45 lbs. Sweet Ollie found himself at our rescue after his owner moved and couldn't take him along. We've promised to find this special boy the best home, and he's ready for his next adventure. Ollie is full of energy and joy, perfect for an active family eager for fun and companionship. He enjoys playing with kids, but due to his size and enthusiasm, we recommend a home with children aged 5 and up. He gets along well with other dogs, making him a great addition to any canine family.

If you think your family could provide the loving environment he needs, he’s just waiting to meet you! Ready to fall in love? Hit apply and let's get started.
