About Ollie
1) General
- Sometimes good and sometimes unpredictable with Other Dogs
- Not Good with Cats
- Good with Kids + 10 yrs as may knock a child over
- Toilet Trained
- Size 21 kgs
2) Ideal Owner
Ollie would like a home where he is someone's companion, with a roomy and secure back yard for him to run around in. While he loves kids they should be older as Ollie is strong and sometimes jumps up.
Ollie needs to be the only permanent dog in the home as he can be unpredictable around other dogs.
He is ok for full time workers (9am-5pm) as long as he is a central focus when people are home.
As Ollie is people orientated he needs to be part of family activities.
He will not suit homes with residents that are very young, frail, elderly, renters, novice dog owners or time poor.
3) Likes, Dislikes, Fears, Endearments and Quirks
Ollie loves people and affection - especially cuddles. He also loves his kong toys.
He can be unpredictable around other dogs so his current owners don't let Ollie off the lead.
Ollie is very clever, learns quickly, is very cuddly and obedient.
4) Tolerance to Being Alone During the Day
Will alert to something strange but is not currently a nuisance barker.
He will suit any of the following:
- someone home more often than not,
- stay at home parent,
- someone that works from home,
- part time workers,
- empty nesters,
- active retirees,
- full time workers (9am-5pm) as long as Ollie is a central focus when home.
Ollie prefers human company but can cope alone,.
5) Exercise Requirements
Medium - playful and moderately active. He will cope if you miss a day so long as he has a yard to run around and play in.
6) When ON a lead ...
Like most dogs he starts off pulling but settles.
7) When OFF a lead ...
Ollie is not let off the lead.
8) Type of Yard Required
Medium to large interesting and secure. Shoulder height fencing is fine but it should go right into the ground so he can't dig underneath.

We strongly recommend you read the profile carefully where everything we know about the dog/s is outlined.
If you are interested in a dog we invite you to submit an application form so we can learn more about your circumstances. This is to ensure we match the right dog to the best home. (one form per family - not per dog) https://www.dogadoption.org.au/expression-of-interest---adoption.html
This is for the benefit of both the dog and the potential new owner(s). It also saves time and uses limited resources more effectively.
Once the essential criteria is confirmed we put you in touch with the carer for a more detailed chat with a view of meeting the dog(s).
If you decide to proceed with the adoption we make a time for a house check.
The adoption fee is then paid (there is a 2 week cooling off period.) Please note we offer a 2 week cooling off period but do not usually allow trials. See here for the difference https://www.dogadoption.org.au/can-my-dogs-new-owner-have-a-trial-period-before-deciding-to-adopt.html
