Ollie

Meet Ollie (D240781)

Ollie is a very timid young boy who is looking for a patient, loving family to help him come out of his shell. At 8 months old, Ollie is still learning to trust people and his surroundings, which means he will need time, space, and gentle encouragement to feel comfortable. While Ollie is shy, he loves being patted and will happily sit in your lap once he feels safe. He’s also fond of food, though he is only mildly food motivated, which can help with training. Ollie is good with other dogs and cats, but he would do best in a quieter home with no small children, as he’s too timid for a bustling environment. He will require leash training and basic obedience training to help him feel more confident and comfortable during walks.

Ideal Home:

Ollie is looking for a calm, understanding household where he can take his time to build trust and confidence. He will need an experienced, patient owner who can provide consistent training, especially with leash walking, as he tends to shut down when on a lead. A home without small children would be ideal, as Ollie is still learning how to interact with his environment. His preference for peace and quiet means he would thrive in a calm and predictable setting with plenty of time for relaxation and bonding.
