Story

We adopted Ollie at 5 months from a family whose older dog did not get along with a puppy in the house. Ollie is 3 years old, is a lover & wants ALL the attention. He will do anything for attention, good or bad! The plan was to just have dogs but we decided unexpectedly to start a family last year & now we have a 10 month old that takes all our attention. Unfortunately & very sadly, Ollie has become more & more hostile towards the baby, nipping at him recently! His forever home needs to promise him all their attention & have a fenced in yard as he is also a runner! Best that he is the only pet & NO children under 16! Please give him all of your love as it breaks our hearts to say we cannot :( Ollie loves to play, visit the dog park, hangout with his friends at doggie daycare, and cuddle. He is very smart and has been through some training though his owners could have worked a bit harder on that part! He may piddle when meeting new people & he gets the zoomies when he is happiest!
