My story

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

Ready to start the new year with an affectionate and handsome new friend? Meeet Ollie, a friendly and loving young fellow looking for his forever home.

* House broken and crate trained
* Affectionate & Loving: Ollie is a true "people dog." He is deeply attached to his companions, and after getting to know you (he’s a bit reserved at first), will come to you for gentle affection.
* Playful: He likes to play and have fun, and will make you laugh.
* Whimsical: Ollie has a sweet and whimsical side and enjoys life.

While Ollie does not enjoy the company of cats, he does like other dogs, and enjoys playing, though he prefers dogs who are respectful of his space.

PHYSICAL

Ollie is a cream and tan hound mix, with a short white coat and pretty markings. He has soulful brown eyes, soft ears and an adorable sprinkle of freckles across his nose.

HISTORY

Ollie is a real community rescue success story! He was seen for weeks and weeks wandering around a local parking lot (you can see a few pictures from that time on his profile). Many kind people worked to gain his trust and eventually brought him into IAR. After recouperating in a foster home and gaining some weight and strength after living on his own, he is now ready to find his forever home.

HEALTH

Ollie currently has a limp (caused by a congenital issue or from an old injury). His limp doesn’t stop him from playing and enjoying life, but he will be undergoing surgery for a hip replacement, the costs of which will be covered by IAR. With rest and daily PT exercises following surgery, he can resume his normal activity level. He is still available to be adopted now, and IAR will work with his new home throughout his surgery and recovery.

Our goal is finding lifelong, loving homes for our animals, so we try to find the best match between animal and adopter. We can help advise you on which animals to meet based on your situation.

You can meet some of our animals at our weekend adoption events, or we can arrange for a meeting in the foster home. If it’s a good match, the foster parent will come to visit your home in person. This is to make sure your home is safe and secure for a new companion animal.

More about this rescue

IAR started with one woman's big dreams, a bigger heart, and a very distinctive purple pickup truck that helped her rescue countless of unwanted, abused, and homeless Triangle pets. Originally founded in 1994, IAR earned an official 501(c)(3) status in 1995. We are governed by a Board of Directors, managed by elected officers, and introduced IAR’s first paid position, General Manager, in June 2021. This role will assist with elevating our collective compassion to new heights and strengthening IAR’s impact as a whole.

Our mission is to rescue and provide safe and responsible care for homeless, abandoned, and abused animals. We shall strive to help all animals in need through our service programs. We will serve our communities through promotion of spay/neuter for all companion animals, and the education of children and adults in humane care, respect and responsibility for animals on this earth.
