We made some good progress today on our mission to bring who we’ve now dubbed The Poto Pittie to safety. We passed out flyers, spoke to all the nearby businesses, got signs plastered up and down the street, and gathered some more intel on recent sightings, with the most recent being two days ago!

We feel like we’ve got a fairly good idea of where she’s been spending her time, and, after a little trespassing, we spotted some fresh paw prints and even some p**p! We made friends and got permission to put up trail cams, so we’ll be heading back tomorrow to get those set up in the hopes we’ll get some live sightings. Once we have confirmation she’s where we think she is, we’ll work on setting bait and traps.

The best thing anyone can do to help is to share our posts to get the word out and call or text with the location of sightings. Please do not go out looking. Please do not chase her. Please do not try to catch her. There’s a reason we’re not providing information on her suspected location.

We’ve done this before, and we also have Billy's Posse consulting. While we may not be experts, they certainly are.

We’ll keep doing everything we can to bring this girl to safety. Please help us by spreading the word, and thank you so much to everyone who already has. Keeping her top of mind in the community is our best bet in finding her.

This girl was spotted by one of our volunteers on 6/24 near Potawatomi Hotel & Casino, where she was witnessed being attacked by a coyote. She's been spotted a few times since then in the area, most recently on S 16th St between W Canal St and W Bruce St. She looks to have recently given birth, and, considering her coyote run-in, it's very likely she needs medical care.

We've decided to jump in and man the search and (hopeful) recovery of this girl. Please share this post and *call/text the number on the flyer with sightings.* DO NOT CHASE HER. She is already scared and on the run. Any chasing may cause her to run into danger.

Don't try to be the hero on this one. The best thing you can do if you see her is to contact the number on the flyer. Our goal right now is simply to find out where she's hunkering down so we can get some trail cams and a trap set up.

We'll be passing out flyers in the area. If you're interested in helping distribute, please reach out, and we'll get you a stack.

Here's to hoping we can get this girl to safety! ❤

🎆 ADOPTION DEBUT 🎆

Our sweet, perfect Bruce spent the weekend recovering from his neuter, and now he is officially ready to go home! This guy is really something special. He is so sweet, loves so hard, and is just a general do**us trying to find his way in the world.

Bruce is guessed to be between ten months and one year old - he is very much a clumsy boy who is learning how to be a grown up. He will, like all dogs, require continued training. That said, he does not have wild puppy energy, though he does love to play, and he knows quite a few asks already like sit, down, and leave it. He walks very well on a leash, and has gotten along with all of the dogs and kids he's met. He doesn't have any cat friends, but, based on his demeanor, it's likely he'll do just fine with appropriate introductions.

Bruce is about sixty pounds, and he's working on gaining weight. He also still may be growing, pending his age, so there is a chance he will be closer to a typical GSD-size (70+ pounds). It's suspected that Bruce is a 'pure bred,'* but we don't know for sure, and, also, we couldn't care less. He's perfect no matter what!

✅ Neutered, on monthly prevention, up to date on vaccines + routine labwork
✅ Good with dogs
✅ Good with kids
✅ Good with cats (probably)
✅ Potty trained
🏃🏻 Crate training in progress (it's a marathon, not a sprint!)

*Cripes that term gives us the gags! 🤮

Come see us at O&Co Pop Up @ Enderis Park Farmer's Market this morning! Percy and Bruce will be making an appearance, we’ve got merch, and there are a bunch of local vendors slingin’ goods. Support local and come say hi!

Bruce is home from his neuter and sleeping off the anesthesia. 🥹 This is always our favorite step in a dog’s journey - spay/neuter is so important and it just makes us so happy to be able to provide this essential procedure. Bruce deserves nothing more than to live a care-free, baby-free life.

Once he’s not wobbling around like a drunken toddler, he’ll be participating in a little photo shoot and will be making his adoption debut in the next couple of days!

You can also catch him at the O&Co Pop Up @ Enderis Park Farmer's Market on Sunday from 11:00-1:00!

“Nothing will change until everyone gets comfortable with being a little uncomfortable in order to save lives.” 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

Fostering isn’t easy. They don’t just seamlessly fit into your life. But THEY are what’s important. THEIR life is what needs saving. Surely you can adjust your life for a few months to save theirs.

Wyatt's got his very first friend, and they're the cutest little duo. 👯‍♂️

Wy's proven to be super neutral around the other dogs in his home, but his relationship with this girl has really blossomed over the last few days. Birdie's been showing him all the best windows to watch for squirrels, and she helps him understand when it's time to relax.

This is a big step for Wyatt. While he's not ready to trust humans, having the capacity to trust SOMEONE and follow their lead is so fun to watch.

We had Wyatt's behavior consult with Dr Rebecca Feiring at Happy at Home Veterinary Care LLC this morning and have come up with an updated plan for giving him our all. Wyatt will be starting on an adjunctive med to help support and calm his nervous system while he learns he's safe. We'll continue Team Wyatt training - positive reinforcement, providing him good things for free with no expectation or interaction (until/unless he's ready). Once his new meds have some time to kick in, we'll start working with a behavior-focused trainer to really kick it into high gear, while still going at Wyatt's pace.

We'll be checking in with his care team in six weeks to make medication adjustments, if needed, and, regardless, Wyatt has, at minimum*, three more months of work with us before we make any decisions about his future. Time, space, and money are not a decision factor in his outcome. He deserves a chance, we committed to giving him one, and we will give it our absolute best f*cking shot to see him make it out on the other side.

We are hopeful and we are so grateful to have such a huge group of humans, both within O&Co and out, rallying for Wyatt. ❤

*If Wyatt's behavior starts moving in the wrong direction or if he becomes a significant danger to himself or his foster, this timeline will absolutely shift. Keeping everyone safe is our top priority.

Look at this happy girl! 😍

Fiona has been showing so much progress since starting her SNRI. Her reactivity has decreased significantly, and she's truly just the best girl. Fi will be starting the search for her family very soon, and we can't wait for her to find her people.

Fiona will be looking for a home with no other pets - while her meds have proved so helpful, her resourcing guarding is still prevalent, and it just doesn't make sense to put her in a home where she feels like she needs to fight to save her resources. After the life she's lived, she deserves to have everything all to herself.

Stay tuned for this beauty's adoption debut. In the meantime, she'll keep cheesin'.

We like to brag about how fun we are, and now we have proof! 👩‍⚖️ If you've ever wondered what our foster group chat looks like at 10:00pm on a Monday, this is it - using AI to put disguises on our dogs and coming up with Real Housewives-esque quotes for them.

Get in on this - we're accepting foster and volunteer applications and adoption applications for (most of) these hams!

Today we recognize, commemorate, and remember to be better. Today we honor Juneteenth, the day that signifies the end of slavery in the US.

At O&Co, we believe in basic human rights. It's not political - it's morality. We will continue to fight for those whose voices aren't being heard. We will continue to fight for an inclusive, fair, and equal world, all while saving as many dogs as we can.

Let's keep fighting the good fight, together. Let's make this world a better place for everyone. ❤️💛💚

Olyver & Co.
