About Ollie

Meet Ollie, a delightful 3-year-old Shih Tzu and Yorkshire Terrier mix, affectionately known as a Shorkie, weighing in at about 11-12 pounds. He joined Bark Bark Wag after being discovered roaming in Detroit, where a caring individual took him in and found out his owners no longer wanted him. Now settling into a loving environment, Ollie's personality shines bright as he explores the world around him. Ollie is energetic and playful, easily making friends with both humans and dogs. He loves playing fetch and has a charming way of hopping when chasing his toys. This sweet boy thrives on affection, happily jumping into laps for kisses and cuddles. His ideal home would be with an adult family or one with respectful kids aged 10 and up. He gets along well with both small and larger dogs and would benefit from having a playful doggie companion. Though he’s learning leash manners and crate training, Ollie does best when he has a physically fenced yard to safely enjoy his zoomies. This charming little guy is already house trained, making him an even more appealing addition to a loving home. Anyone who brings Ollie into their lives will quickly find themselves enchanted by his playful spirit and loving nature. Ready to fall in love? Hit apply and let’s get started.
