About Ollie

Meet Ollie! This handsome 5-year-old Husky/Malamute mix is seeking his forever home. Weighing in at 66 pounds, Ollie is a big, fluffy delight who brings joy wherever he goes. His personality shines brightly; he’s sweet, social, and incredibly intelligent. Squeaky balls are his absolute favorite—give him one, and you’ll be entertained for hours as he fetches and squeaks away. Ollie is a dream on leash, showing great manners even around other dogs. He quickly picks up on cues and fits in well with his foster dogs. While he previously cohabited with another male, he doesn’t do well with cats. This fellow adores car rides, eagerly joining in on errands or just a casual drive. He loves to watch the world go by from the window, taking in everything his humans are doing. Before joining the rescue, Ollie spent two months in a South Carolina shelter after being surrendered. He often found himself outside for extended periods, becoming quite the escape artist by even climbing gates. Secure fencing and supervision are a must, as he just wants to be with his people. Please note that Ollie needs an experienced adopter. Northern breeds like him require higher exercise and training standards, so it's important to be prepared. What are you waiting for? Apply today!
