My name is Oli!

Hi there, future best friend! My name is Oli, and I’m a 2-year-old Australian Shepherd mix with a heart full of love and a tail that wiggles like crazy when I’m happy (which is pretty much all the time!). I weigh about 20–25 pounds, so I’m the perfect size for snuggles, adventures, and everything in between.

Let me tell you a little about my journey. I was at the Humane Society in Yuma for over a month, waiting patiently for my person to come back for me. I didn’t understand why they never did, but I kept hoping. Then one day, the kind folks at Central Arizona Animal Rescue came and gave me a second chance. Now I’m here, safe and loved, but I know my forever home is still out there—and I can’t wait to find it!

I’m neutered, up to date on all my vaccinations, and I’ve even been microchipped, so I’m ready to go whenever you are! I share my kennel with a sweet female dog, and we have the best time playing together. We chase toys, wrestle gently, and nap side by side. I think I’d do great in a home with another friendly dog, especially if they like to play as much as I do!

People? Oh wow, I LOVE people! Every time someone walks by, my little stubby tail goes a million miles an hour. I just want to be near you, get pets, and maybe sneak in a kiss or two if you’ll let me. I’m a happy, affectionate guy who thrives on attention and kindness. I don’t have any background info, so I’m not sure how I feel about cats or little kids, but I’m a gentle soul. If kids give me a little time to warm up and don’t rush me, I think we could be great pals.

I dream about my forever home every night. I imagine a cozy bed, tasty treats, walks in the sunshine, and someone who looks at me and says, “You’re home now, Oli.” I promise to be loyal, loving, and always excited to see you. Whether we’re hiking trails, playing in the yard, or just watching TV together, I’ll be your shadow and your biggest fan.

I know life hasn’t always been easy, but I haven’t let that dim my spirit. I’m still hopeful, still joyful, and still wagging my tail for the future. I believe there’s someone out there who’s looking for a dog just like me—someone who wants a companion, a buddy, a furry family member. Could that be you?

If you think we might be a perfect match, I’d love to meet you! Just send an email to mike@caaronline.org to set up an appointment. I’ll be waiting with my tail wagging and my heart open.

Love and wiggles,
Oli
