ABOUT THIS ANIMAL:

Ollie is looking for a home with adults where he can love on his new human parents to his hearts content!! He LOVES to be with people, and easily bonds with men over women (though a soft preference, he really loves all people!). He can sometimes get a little overwhelmed and has been known to nip in these situations, so while he is GREAT with kids we do not recommend him going to a home with small children as accidents happen.

He plays very well with dogs who have a similar rough and tumble playstyle. He's not great at receiving cues from other pups, so needs the more forgiving sort to partner with. He walks well on walks, and is slowing down after thirty minutes of sniffing around the neighborhood.

He does NOT like being left alone. The crate is not his favorite place, and he does well if someone leaves him for short amounts of time. Perhaps having another canine companion in the home would also help with this!!
