About Ollie
Sweet natured, playful, approx 18 month old Great Dane X.
You can't help but love Ollie from the moment you meet him. He exudes joy and happiness in his every move.
He loves the company of humans, snuggling up to them on the couch or sitting at their feet for ear scratches and tummy rubs, but most of all he loves to play with other dogs. Ollie's face lights up when playing with his 5 new doggy friends at his foster carers house.
He is always gentle in his play and is currently learning how to live in a house and all of the boundaries that come with that, but as he is so willing to please his humans, he is proving to be a fast learner.
Ollie walks well while on walks, using a harness to help him feel secure, but as he doesn't appear to be used to the big wide world, he currently likes to stay close the his humans and he is a little wary of new things like noisy trucks and other people walking by.
He travels well in the car, happily sleeping away the car trip.
Ollie is currently in foster care in regional Victoria after spending months in a rural NSW pound. It is reported that when Ollie came into the pound he was skin and bone He's, sometimes not quite sure what to do with his big feet and can sometimes be endearingly clumsy.
While Ollie learns what it is to be a valued member of a family, and because he is still very much a puppy, he will need humans that understand that he needs ongoing patience and understanding, including some more practise with basic training.
Ollie is currently 40kgs, so is quite large, but not overly tall. He has not been tested with small children, cats or small dogs.
If you are looking for a new best friend to bring laughter and love to your home, Ollie is your boy.
