Ollie

My story

Ollie is adorable, quirky, and a little shy at firstOllie – Adoption Bio Ollie is a gentle soul with a heart of gold, waiting for the right person to help her shine. At first, Ollie may be a little shy, preferring to take things slow while she gets to know you. Once trust is built, you will discover a loyal companion who will stand by your side through life’s quiet moments and joyful days. Ollie is searching for a patient, understanding adopter who can offer her the stability and kindness she deserves. Ollie thrives in a calm, steady environment, where routines bring her comfort, and gentle handling shows her the world is a safe place. She shines brightest when given structure, patience, and enrichment. She’s the kind of dog who will make your home feel fuller, your days brighter, and your heart lighter. Whether you’re a senior looking for a loyal sidekick, a quiet household wanting a devoted friend, or a multi-dog family ready to welcome another gentle soul, Ollie is ready to bring joy, laughter, and unconditional love to your life. Back Story Likely born in the desert with minimal socialization until captured by Animal Control, she once lived with a loving family, displaying food-driven behavior and allowing her human dad to pet her. Due to a family tragedy, Ollie (Olive) found herself in need of treatment or sanctuary. With the right family and commitment, we believe Ollie can thrive with humans once again.
