With a heavy heart, I present our foster Ollie for a second time on our socials. Unfortunately, life happens sometimes, and her perfect family who adopted her almost a year ago has had to return her due to personal reasons. She is settling back into life here with us for now, but we are still trying to find her the perfect home she deserves.🏡

Ollie came to us in December of 2023 a scared shell of a dog who had been passed around a fair amount. Scared of men, particular with who she kept as dog friends, and even taking her time to warm up to me, we knew it would be a long haul, and a very special person would be needed for her.🥺

Flash forward, we still have an insecure girl - genetically, some things can’t be changed, but she’s learning to trust that her humans will advocate for her when needed. She loves to play ball, and roll around endlessly in the grass! I would say she’s a fairly “lazy” cattle dog as far as the breed goes, and could suit retired or apartment life as long as she has adequate exercise. She doesn’t need a canine companion, but does tend to do better with male dogs vs female, though it does highly depend on personality. She would not be suited to a home with cats (unless a high level of management could be put in place). She’s fairly independent, and likes her space in the house, relies heavily on her crate when she feels scared or overwhelmed, or when visitors come to visit. She gets along well with my young child (who is very dog-savvy), but given her need for a quieter lifestyle, I wouldn’t recommend she lives with them. She is house trained, crate trained, off-leash trained (once she has a relationship with you), and walks well on a leash. She does require meds for environmental allergies spring through fall, although much worse in the fall.🐕

We hope we can find her a home she so desperately deserves, although it may be a unicorn find! Feel free to reach out if you have any questions about our sweet Ollie, or if you might be that unicorn home!🦄
