Walter (Ollie 08-262) [1]

Hi Everyone,

I'm Ollie! I was found as a stray in South Dakota and taken to a shelter down there. Rona got me out of that shelter and she and Tim got me to my foster family. Thanks guys!!!! I got to ride up from SD with Tanner 08-260. He is a cool guy. We got along great.

I don't mean to brag or anything...but I am a big, beautiful boy. I am between 3 and 4 years old and I weigh 88 pounds. I am UTD on all my shots and I just got neutered on Monday. Ouch. The Vet says I am a healthy boy and am ready to find my forever family.

There are two resident dogs here at my foster's house. Sally the Dane and I love to run and play together in the back yard. She is so fun to hang out with. I get along with Chief the St. Bernard too. But, he doesn’t really play too much. He just likes to sleep A LOT. There is also a cat here. I have sniffed him a few times, but I don't bug him or anything. My foster mom and dad also have two human kids. They are 2 and 5. They are used to being around dogs, so they don't pull on my tail or anything. They do pet me though. And I sure do love to be petted.

At night I sleep in my foster mom and dad's room on the floor. During the times when no one is home I also hang out in their room with my kong full of peanut butter. I don't have any problems when they leave, but I know they are never gone too long. I know a couple commands, but will need a family that will help me work on it. I know "sit", but it takes me a little longer with lay "down". I don’t like the command "stay". I don’t want to stay. I want to be wherever my foster family is. I don't jump on people and I don’t chew on the human kid's toys. I have been busted counter surfing, but only once. I pull a bit on the leash during walks, but that can be corrected. I think I will do best in a home with a fenced yard. I do try to sneak out the front door when people are coming or going. My foster mom is worried that I may be a runner if given the opportunity.

I am an affectionate, playful boy. I am looking for a fun family who will give me lots of love and help me learn some things too. My foster mom is hoping that I will get adopted fast. Because, if I don't, she may just want to keep me all to herself. Yeah, I could tell the day they picked me up, that she was falling for me. I bet you will fall in love with me too, as soon as you meet me. So contact placement and let them know you want to meet me.
