About Ollie

Ollie is an adorable 8-year-old Shih Tzu in search of a loving home after losing his owner. Weighing around 15 lbs, he may only have one eye, but that doesn’t hold him back. His eye was removed due to an infection, and he navigates life just fine with his impressive spirit. Completely housetrained, Ollie has fantastic house manners; he doesn’t chew or destroy things. While he gets along with the other small dogs in his foster home, he would thrive best as the only dog, ideally in the company of older adults who enjoy cozy snuggles. Ollie is far from a couch potato; he loves to play with his toys and can be found darting around the backyard, showcasing that he still has a playful side. If you believe you can provide Ollie with the loving home he deserves, please apply. Every adoption includes Ollie's spay/neuter, microchip, and up-to-date vaccinations, ensuring he's ready for a new adventure.
