About Ollie

Meet Ollie, a lively six-and-a-half-year-old Siberian Husky and Shepherd mix currently in Amherst, MA. His striking black coat with white accents perfectly matches his vibrant personality. Weighing approximately 65 pounds, Ollie captivates everyone with his intelligence and independence. He’s a trained companion who comes when called and walks beautifully on a leash. Ollie knows a variety of cues, such as sit, lay down, stay, spin, paw, and even roll over, especially when treats like peanut butter are in the mix. He enjoys learning and thrives on clear communication and positive reinforcement. Ollie adapts well to different activities, whether it’s hiking, taking a leisurely walk, or enjoying a peaceful afternoon nap. He loves splashing in rivers, chasing sticks, and exploring the outdoors. He’s in tune with the emotions of his humans, always ready to join in or take some quiet time by himself. It’s important to note that Ollie requires an experienced pet parent in a calm, structured environment. He can become overstimulated in large groups and is protective of his food and toys. He has a history of biting in certain situations, so understanding his body language and respecting his boundaries will help him thrive. Ollie is also on daily medication for anxiety. Ollie would do best in a loving home without children and as the only dog, where he can roam freely. In return, he brings loyalty, adventure, and companionship on his own unique terms. Could you be the patient, understanding person to help Ollie embark on his next adventure? What are you waiting for? Apply today!
