Ollie is a happy, social Black Mouth Cur puppy full of life and curiosity! He gets along well with dogs, cats, men, women, and even roosters, making him a very adaptable and well-rounded pup. As a young puppy, Ollie is playful, energetic, and joyful. He loves to run, chase, and follow his dog companions, and he truly enjoys being part of the group. He is also very affectionate, loves giving kisses, and seeks human connection. Ollie is food-motivated and can be protective of his food. He may try to take food from other dogs, and if they resist, he can show some mild, passive defensive behavior. With structure, consistency, and guidance, Ollie has all the potential to become a well-balanced adult dog. He is still a baby and learning about the world, and his behaviors are very manageable with proper leadership and routine.
Ideal Home
Ollie is looking for an active family that enjoys outdoor activities and has a securely fenced backyard. Families with a strong intention to rescue and an understanding of the needs and behaviors of street animals are ideal. Experience with dog behavior and training, or a willingness to hire a trainer, is highly encouraged. He also needs a family with high tolerance and patience for rescued puppies.
Ongoing Health
Ollie has received a spay/neuter certificate, DHPPI vaccines, a rabies vaccine, Bordetella vaccine, has been dewormed, and microchipped. He has also had a 4DX test and certificate, a negative heartworm test certificate, and is on monthly preventive protection with Nexgard Spectra. He comes with a health certificate and vaccination booklet.
Training & Support
Ollie is not house-trained and it's important to understand that rescued pets may require an adjustment period. Patience, understanding, and establishing a routine with clear boundaries are crucial for his successful integration into a new home. Due to his food protectiveness, it's recommended to feed him separately and continue basic training to help him learn boundaries.
