My personality

My story

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

Meet Ollie!

A sweet and snuggly eleven-and-a-half-year-old Yorkshire Terrier/Dachshund mix currently in Wayne, PA, whose gentle soul is tucked into a light brown, low-riding little frame just 11 pounds strong.

Ollie may have a few years under his belt, but don’t let that fool you, this guy is all heart and has a surprising pep in his step when it’s time for his favorite part of the day: a nice long walk! He’s got a calm, low-energy nature most of the time, but those daily strolls? Pure magic for him! He lives for sniffing adventures, leisurely paces, and the great outdoors, just add one committed walking buddy and he’ll be in heaven.

An expert-level snuggler and devoted companion, Ollie shines as a constant, cozy presence around the house. He’s incredibly gentle with toddlers, although he sometimes mistakes them for playful pups like himself, so older or dog-savvy children would be a great fit. His protective streak adds charm, he’s not aggressive, but expect a hearty bark when strangers or delivery folks appear. Think of it as his way of announcing, “I’ve got your back!”

Ollie is crate-trained, house-trained, and understands commands like “stay” and “down.” He’s not prone to anxiety when left alone for short stretches, and his friendly, easy-going attitude with other dogs makes him a good candidate for a multi-pup household. Cats, however, are not on his list of companions, he much prefers a feline-free home.

Health-wise, Ollie is neutered, vaccinated, microchipped, and in overall good shape for a senior gent! He does take medication to manage urinary incontinence, and his future family should be ready to provide the little bit of extra care he needs to stay comfortable and happy.

If you’re looking for a small, loving sidekick who enjoys snuggles as much as strolls, Ollie might just be the furry friend to complete your family! Could you be the one to show this loyal little guy the joys of his next chapter?
