Ollie ~ Blue Cattle Dog (on trial 22/12/18)

Ollie Ollie Oi Oi Oi, now I have your attention let me introduce myself. Obviously my name is Ollie I am a 2.5 year old Blue Cattle Dog. I was privately surrendered, due to no fault of my own. My previous owners living arrangements changed and she couldn’t keep me any longer. She had my since I was a baby, I could tell it was hard for her to let me go as my head was wet with tears as I was handed to my foster carers, who were then emotional all the way home and gave me lots of pats and cuddles. Humans are funny animals but I like them.

I am a playful boy and I enjoy playing tug of war, swimming and going for walks. Actually I’m not sure what I enjoy most, the fun when I am out and about or the adventure in the car!

I love going for walks and I have fantastic recall. I do chase the ball but I don’t really bring it back to you. I’m fantastic on my walks other, dogs don’t really both me. I do tend to pull a bit on my lead but once I’ve used up some energy I’m fine. I’m really non bossy and I’m not a big barker. I don’t dig or jump fences, I’m pretty chilled actually . If you can take me once a day for a walk that would be ideal.

I love spending time with my humans. I am very loyal, affectionate and will be your shadow no matter which room you are walking to in the house. So if you want boundaries set with me let me know and we will discuss this further, like do you really need the door shut to the bathroom? At least leave something warm for me to lay on while I am waiting for you.

I have some pretty cool basic things I have been taught, like I can sit, stay and lay, treats will get me there every time. With the right person I would love to learn more as I am a fast learner.

I am currently living with two single ladies a 10 year old Staffy x Boxer and a 3 year old Red Cattle Dog. I play with the one closer to my age a bit more as she has a bit more time and energy for me, but I know they both love having me here.

I REALLY love being around my humans so I’ve been a clever boy and learned to go outside to do my business. I like sleeping inside on a bed or a blanket.

In my short time I have been sooooo lucky to have spent time with people of all ages. You may find when you come home from work I’m excited to see you and may jump up a bit but once you pat me and say hello I settle down very quickly.

When you are home with me I am pretty chilled. I’ll come for pats, watch a movie and have a snooze (by the way healthy snacks for me don’t go astray while your munching on a block of chocolate watching Sleepless in Seattle again on a Saturday night).

I can live with other dogs or if I really have to I could get by on my own. I’d be happy to live with a family or someone who is home a fair bit. I have met some of those funny little meowing creatures and I have to say I quite like them (but they would have to like me too).
