Adopt OLLIE a Black - with White Border Collie / Mixed Breed (Large) / Mixed dog

Location:

Toronto, ON

Description:

Personality: Friendly and easily trainable. Curious like a puppy and not easily excited by other animals (dogs, birds, cats, etc.). Enjoys playing and has a good appetite. Interactions with Women: Licks and wags tail when seeing them, and allows them to pet and cuddle. Interactions with Men: Runs up to them and asks for attention. Sociable with both men and women. Interactions with Children: Shows belly when touched and licks their faces. Interactions with Other Dogs: Approaches and plays with them without hesitation. However, if the other dog shows signs of discomfort, immediately stops and walks away. Very perceptive. Interactions with Cats: Showed no interest in a cat encountered during a walk. Followed the signal to move on without hesitation. Complete Toilet Training: Knew to use the puppy pad right away. Currently 100% successful. Complete Crate Training: Not afraid to go into the crate. Initially whines when the door is closed, but soon waits quietly. Energy Level: After a little over an hour of walking, flopped down on the way back home. Still a puppy, so gets tired quickly with extended outdoor activities. Plays fairly calmly indoors. Comfort with Being Handled: Enjoys being touched and responds well to training with treats. Tendency to Bark: Occasionally barks when demanding something or when nervous. Tendency to Run Away: So far, no tendency to run away. Comes when called and follows well with other dogs. Appetite Issues: Has a good appetite, but no issues. Walking with a Leash: Initially resisted wearing the leash, but as soon as we went outside, happily trotted along, even if the leash got tangled. Reaction to People or Dogs on Leash: Not very interested. Comfortable in the Car: Sleeps or lies quietly in the crate during car rides. Doesn't experience motion sickness. Destructive Behavior: Tried to chew on a wooden table but was immediately stopped and redirected to play with a dog toy. So far, no destructive behavior. Need for a Yard: It would be nice to have a yard, but not a necessary requirement as long as there is a suitable environment for potty training and regular walks. Need to Live with Other Dogs: Would adapt well to living with other dogs who have good social skills. However, also suitable for living as the only dog due to sociable nature. Suitable for Apartment Living: Definitely suitable. Rescue Story: Olly was rescued from a puppy farm and has only lived in shelters since birth.
