My personality

My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Meet Oliver or as we call him, Ollie!

Ollie’s journey hasn’t been easy. When he was first rescued, he was nearly hairless and suffering from painful, mange ridden skin (see last photo). He had been on the euthanasia list at a municipal shelter. A volunteer and a foster fell in love with him, a rescue said yes, and hence started Ollie’s healing journey.

Fast forward a few months, he is a handsome, happy, and full of life boy! Most of his fur has grown back beautifully, though he still has a bald patch around his neck and shoulders that may never fully regrow. But honestly, It just adds to his charm. His glow-up is truly something special.

Ollie is one of the sweetest dogs you’ll ever meet. His fosters call him their “golden child” because he’s just about perfect. Ollie is fantastic with every person he meets, including kids, and he absolutely adores other dogs.

Ollie is both potty trained and kennel trained. He loves playing with other dogs, chewing on toys, going on walks, car rides, and just chilling. His foster family absolutely adores him, and watching him blossom has been nothing short of heartwarming.

Ollie does need weekly baths to keep his skin healthy but they are quick and easy, and he is very cooperative.

He is estimated to be around 6-7 years old and weighs about 55 lbs.

Ollie is currently being fostered in Houston, Texas, but is available in many cities around the country. The adoption fee includes the cost of transport.

Additional adoption info

We strive to place animals in the most fitting home - while we do give priority to the order in which applications are received, we retain the right to deny an adoption if the home is not the best fit for the animal at hand.

More about this rescue

We are a 501c3 nonprofit organization dedicated to helping dogs and puppies that need it most: those that are dumped, grow up on the streets, and endure neglect. We rescue these dogs from southern states and give them a new life in loving local families or to awaiting families in northern states.
