About Olaf

Olaf is a sweet, 1-year-old Border Collie mix with a gentle and thoughtful nature. He arrived with his sister, Elsa, from a backyard breeder situation. Olaf is quite shy and tends to shut down when overwhelmed, but he finds comfort in staying close to Elsa, quietly offering her reassurance. He's not aggressive, just fearful, and prefers to observe before engaging. New environments and people can be a lot for him, so he'll need a patient and understanding home that will allow him to progress at his own pace.

Ideal Home

A calm household with minimal chaos would be ideal for Olaf. He would do well with another gentle dog and especially thrives when he feels safe and secure.

Ongoing Health

No specific health conditions are mentioned.

Training & Support

Olaf is fearful and will need time, consistency, and kindness to build confidence and form a deep bond with his person.

Application Details:

Applications start by contacting us through Wags.

Olaf is located in Pierre, SD. You can meet him during open hours on Saturdays from 11 am - 1 pm.
