Story
Y’all, Ollie Scout is one of those dogs who makes you want to wrap him up in the biggest hug and promise him that everything is going to be okay. Between his uniquely handsome coloring, ridiculously sweet face, and gentle little soul, he is almost impossible not to fall in love with. Ollie may need a little time to decide you are safe, but once he does, this shy guy transforms into the sweetest cuddle bug and biggest snuggle bud. His foster says one of her favorite things about him is just how much he loves to cuddle, and honestly, we cannot blame him. Life is simply better when you have someone to snuggle with.

Ollie is approximately 2 years old and currently weighs around 50 pounds. We believe he may be a Pittie mix, but with animal rescue, breed and age are always a mystery and our best guesses.
When Ollie first arrives somewhere new, his sensitive side tends to show. New places, unfamiliar environments, and people he does not know can make him feel a little unsure, so he will need a patient family willing to give him the time and space he needs to settle in. He may not immediately march through the front door and declare himself king of the couch, but give him time to learn that he is safe and loved and you will begin to see what an absolute sweetheart he truly is.
Once Ollie opens up, prepare yourself because the cuddles are coming. He is incredibly sweet, gentle, loving, and affectionate, and he would happily curl up beside you or press himself against you like one big personal weighted blanket. Underneath that initially shy exterior is a total love bug who forms strong bonds with his people and wants nothing more than to feel safe, included, and close to the ones he loves.
Other dogs are one of Ollie’s absolute favorite things in the world. He is very dog friendly, currently lives in a foster home with another dog, and genuinely comes alive when he has a canine friend nearby. He loves playing chase, wrestling, and simply being with other dogs. Whether they are running around the yard together, sharing toys, or settling down after playtime, Ollie is the kind of dog who could easily become your resident dog’s new best friend. Because another dog helps him feel more comfortable and gives him the confidence to open up, we would love to see Ollie join a home with a friendly resident dog. Having that built-in buddy will help show him the ropes, reassure him that everything is okay, and make the transition into his new life a little easier. In return, your dog will gain a playful, loyal companion who will always be ready for a backyard chase or a good old-fashioned wrestling match.
Ollie loves toys and is not the least bit picky about which ones you hand him. Balls, squeaky toys, stuffed toys, or whatever happens to be nearby, he is happy to participate. He even knows how to play fetch! Ollie is also a big fan of treats, takes them very gently, and already knows a handful of commands. Once he feels comfortable, toys and treats will be wonderful ways to build his confidence, strengthen your bond, and bring out more of his playful personality.
Ollie is crate trained and is overall comfortable settling in his crate. He may whine every so often, but he settles nicely and understands that his crate is a safe place to relax. He has also shown great house manners in his foster home. He had a few accidents when he first arrived, but new home, new environment, and a whole new routine can be a lot for a shy guy to process. With consistency, patience, and regular potty breaks while he adjusts, he has done very well.
The best home for Ollie will be patient, loving, and relatively calm. He would thrive with people who enjoy the simple moments in life and are not concerned with having the neighborhood party house. He is looking for a family that will let him adjust at his own pace, provide him with a predictable routine, and celebrate each little step as his confidence grows. A friendly resident dog is especially important for Ollie because having a canine companion helps him feel secure and allows his true personality to shine.
Once Ollie realizes he is home, we can picture him spending his days playing with his new doggy sibling, lounging nearby while his people work, and ending every evening curled up against someone on the couch. He may need a little patience in the beginning, but the reward is an incredibly sweet, gentle, affectionate companion who will love his family with his whole heart. Ollie Scout is handsome, tenderhearted, and ready to become someone’s favorite snuggle buddy and one very lucky dog’s new best friend.
We are willing to test Ollie Scout with anything you need in order to ensure it's a perfect match. We can make anything happen! Just let us know.

At our 2 acre Texas based property, we assess every animal with trainers on staff, we modify behavior as needed, and create individualized behavior plans to help prepare dogs for their future families including crate training, potty training, leash walking, etc. Our fosters are able to attend group training and socialization play groups helping them stay confident, well rounded, and adoption-ready.

We go above and beyond to ensure every animal receives exceptional care. Veterinarians consistently praise our medical standards.
