About Ollie
Introducing Ollie, a 2 and a half year old German Whitehaired Pointer filled with love and joy. Though Ollie may come across shy and reserved initially, once he has gained trust in you he will gladly accept pats all day.
Ollie possesses an exquisite nature, a heart filled with genuine love that he is ready to share with his new family. Once this bashful boy warms up to you, he is all about love and pats! He is a gentle soul who enjoys the comforts of a soft bed and the simple joy of a quiet afternoon lazing around.
Highly adaptable, Ollie is comfortable with a canine sibling, provided the introductions are slow and at his pace. Face-to-face greetings might seem a bit intimidating, so it's best to manage initial introductions appropriately to avoid potential stress. With time and patience, he'll gradually build comfort and trust in a multi-dog home environment.
In a household offering understanding, patience, and affection to navigate his initial timidity, Ollie will undoubtedly thrive. If your family is prepared to offer our loving Ollie a chance to trust again, he is more than ready to offer a lifelong companionship that will fill your home with an abundance of cuddles and joy.
Adoption details
We are not open to walk ins, appointments by booking only. All households members must be present before we can adopt an animal out.
As our goal is to adopt animals out from the shelter into loving homes as fast as possible, multiple bookings may be made for the same animal.
We are not able to hold any animals for any reason.
As such, there is a possibility that the animal you may have found a forever home before your appointment. If this is the case we will inform you by phone call as soon as possible.
