Ollie

Meet Ollie (aka Ollie-Bear)! Ollie is a sweet and goofy 3-year-old Anatolian Shepherd/German Shepherd mix who's ready to find his forever home! This big cuddle bug loves nothing more than snuggling up in bed with his foster mom, but he's just as happy going for walks or enjoying a relaxing bath. Ollie has a playful, silly side too-he'll lay right down in the pool on hot days to cool off, chew on squishy pillows like they're the best toy in the world, and proudly show off his tricks like "shake" and "high-five." He's currently working on his kennel training and has made great progress. Since being neutered, he's learning not to mark, and he's improving every day! This lovable boy would do wonderfully in a home with other dogs to play with (he is great with dogs of all sizes). If you're looking for a loyal, mellow, and affectionate companion with a dash of goofiness, this lovely gentle giant just might be your perfect match.
The adoption fee for Ollie is $350, all of which goes back into offseting our high-cost vetting expenses and rescuing more dogs. We are a 100%% volunteer-run rescue group and rely on adoption fees and donations to continue saving lives. Adoption fees include spay/neuter, current on age-appropriate vaccinations, fecal, deworming, flea/tick and heartworm preventative, heartworm tested if old enough (and treated if positive), and microchipped. Please visit http://heartlandgsrescue.rescuegroups.org/info/adoption for more information about our adoption process and requirements, and to apply. Like any of our dogs, Ollie would make a great addition to an active home that will provide the love, structure, good leadership, activity and mental stimulation that his breed needs. Even if you exercise and play with your dog daily in your fenced yard, please remember that you MUST still take your dog out on daily walks and outings, in order to provide sufficient stimulation, ward off boredom, and work on leash skills, and manners.
