Story
Socialization/training: Ollie is well socialized with people of all ages and other dogs. He loves kids and is very gentle with babies. He is very smart and athletic. He knows sit, stay, leave it, and loves to play fetch. He is very intelligent, and food motivated so easy to train. He has not had accidents in the house and also has not chewed anything inappropriately.
Crate trained: Ollie eats and sleeps quietly all night in the crate.
Leash trained: Ollie walks great on the leash and does not react or try to chase other animals. He knows heel and if he does walk in front to do some sniffing, he will keep turning his head to make sure his person is following.
Activity Level: Ollie is energetic and will play fetch for hours. Once he’s told ‘take a break’ he will settle down to take a nap. He enjoys his walks. He would excel in agility training; he is very fast and athletic.
Fence: Ollie would be fine with a four-foot fence or invisible fence. He has good recall. A home without a fence will also be considered if there is a good exercise plan in place for him, as he needs to play fetch and burn off energy daily!
Behavior: Ollie is very playful and follows his person closely. He has good manners with people and other dogs. It took him about a week to feel comfortable enough to play with the other dogs in the foster home since the other dogs are all bigger. He wants to be touching his person or a dog friend when he’s napping. He rides great in the vehicle and likes going to the park, events, and Tractor Supply.
Medical History: Ollie is microchipped, neutered, up to date on vaccinations, and on monthly heartworm prevention. He has no known medical issues.
Foster Comments: Ollie was found as a stray dog in Texas. He went right up to greet the animal control officer when they arrived. He is a super smart Pomeranian/herding dog mix who luckily looked enough like a mini–English Setter to be saved from the shelter. His hair is as soft as silk and he’s very gentle and sweet. He needs someone that has the time and energy to play ball with him daily. He enjoys going on adventures and meeting new people and dogs. He’s very outgoing and has not shown any fear, thunderstorms don’t even bother him. Ollie is a wonderful happy-go-lucky dog who is looking for his forever home.
Foster Location: Bandera, TX
Volunteer transport can be arranged in the Continental US within a 1,000-mile distance between adopters & foster home. If interstate transport is provided for your adopted dog, there will be an additional charge of $50.00 for the required Certificate of Veterinary Inspection (“Health Certificate”). Typically, we are able to transport your adopted dog to within 2 hours of your home. *Dogs can be adopted outside the 1000-mile transport distance; however, adopters must be willing to either fly their adopted dog, drive to a location within the 1000-mile transport range, or make independent transport arrangements for their adopted dog. Transports to far Western states, from Eastern states, may have additional restrictions.
