Meet Ollie: A Tale of Love, Zoomies, Squeaky Balls, and Endless Snuggles 🥰
Are you ready to fall in love with the ultimate snuggle buddy and adventure partner? Ollie, our sweet 26-pound Pekingese/Russell Terrier mix, is a delightful 5-year-old with a heart as golden as his fur and an ever-present winning smile! This boy has been through a lot in his life but has proven that his zest for love and life is unshakable, and that the love of a good hooman, is just as wonderful as the love of an incredible dog.
Potty-Training Pro:
Ollie is a potty-training superstar! He doesn’t have accidents indoors and will scratch at the door to let you know it’s time for a potty break. Snow, rain, or shine, he’ll brave the elements to do his business. He even lets you sleep in—9 or 10 a.m. is early enough for him. His impressive potty habits will make your life so much easier!
Cuddle Champion:
When it comes to affection, Ollie is all in. He loves nothing more than curling up next to you on the couch or snuggling into a fluffy blanket on your lap. If you’re working, Ollie will sneak in some sweet kisses to remind you of his love, and now that he's learned what gentle love and affection feels like, he’s equally affectionate with new people, quickly winning them over with his gentle charm.
Playtime Extraordinaire:
Ollie’s playful spirit is infectious! His favorite toy? The Tail Teaser, a wand with a dangling lure. Ollie’s eyes light up as he eagerly directs you to fetch it, proving he’s not only smart but also hilariously determined. He’s a pro at catching the lure (and yes, he cheats with his paws!). He also loves squeaky balls and will race to catch them in midair. Morning zoomies are his thing, often accompanied by the triumphant squeaking of his beloved Lamb Chop toy. Puzzle feeders and treat puzzles are his jam—he’s a clever boy who thrives on mental stimulation, and would very much appreciate a family dedicated to making engagement and mental stimulation a priority in his life. (All dogs should have this anyway!)
Activity Level:
Ollie is the perfect blend of active and chill. He’s up for walks, car rides (his absolute favorite!), and zoomie sessions in the yard but also enjoys lazy days binge-watching TV with his humans. He’s adaptable and happy as long as he’s with his people.
Social Butterfly:
Ollie is polite and curious around older kids (ages 6–10) and warms up to everyone he meets. He’s good with other dogs, especially older and smaller ones, and has done well with the cat we tested him with. He loves meeting new people during outings and charms them with his playful yet gentle demeanor.
Charming Quirks:
Ollie’s quirks will keep you smiling! He loves water—well, sort of. He’ll stand just outside the spray of the shower and sneak a few licks from the floor. He’s also a moth and grasshopper chaser extraordinaire. His funniest habit? When he wants to play with his Tail Teaser, he’ll make eye contact, place his paws on the counter where it’s stored, and stare you down until you give in. It’s a strategy that almost always works!
What He’s Looking For in a Forever Home:
Ollie dreams of a family that’s home more often than not to share in his love of cuddles and playtime. While he’d love a friendly canine sibling, he’d be perfectly content as the center of your world. A yard to zoom around in would be great, but he’s just as happy with daily walks and plenty of outdoor adventures. Active, older, respectful kids or adults who enjoy playtime, outings and maybe even a nature hike would make his tail wag even faster!
Training Highlights:
Ollie knows how to sit, is working on "stay," and is learning how to shake. He excels at "Go Find It," chasing down treats with precision. He’s leash-trained, crate-trained, and incredibly intelligent—ready to learn whatever you’d like to teach him.
His Best Traits:
Ollie is loving, playful, gentle, and eager to please. He brings joy wherever he goes with his wagging curly tail and soft golden fur. His adaptability, intelligence, and goofy antics will make you laugh daily.
Endearing Moments:
Ollie has a knack for making his foster family laugh. Once, he decided to test his foster dad’s tolerance for kisses by sneaking in chin licks, resulting in a fit of laughter. He also stops by the car during walks, looking up with his soulful brown eyes as if to say, “Let’s go on an adventure!”
Could You Be Ollie’s Forever Family?
Ollie is ready to bring joy, laughter, and unconditional love to his forever home. If you’re looking for a loyal companion who will stick by your side through every adventure (and snuggle afterward), Ollie might just be the one. Could you be the family to give him the life he so richly deserves?
