Meet Ollie!
Ollie is a spirited six-and-a-half-year-old Siberian Husky/Shepherd mix who embodies loyalty and intelligence. Weighing around 65 pounds, this handsome boy sports a striking black coat with white accents. He's a well-behaved companion who walks beautifully on a leash and knows an impressive array of commands, including sit, lay down, stay, spin, paw, go home, go to crate, and even roll over! Ollie is highly motivated by treats, especially peanut butter, and thrives on positive reinforcement and clear communication. He loves outdoor adventures like hiking and exploring, and he's also content to relax by your side. Ollie has a special talent for tuning into human emotions, making him a wonderfully empathetic companion.

Training & Support
Ollie can become overstimulated around large groups, is protective of food and high-value items, and has a history of biting in certain situations. He needs an experienced pet parent who can continue setting him up for success by managing resource guarding and providing consistent guidance.
