June 2014 ~ Such wonderful news! Ollie, the SSH, has found a fantastic forever home. Be very happy, Ollie
Recently, I had the pleasure of meeting a very handsome and special Stripey Sofa Hound, who goes by the name of Ollie.
Ollie is in the care of Bath Cats and Dogs Home while he waits for his forever family.
He has a lovely relationship with his animal carer, as you can see in these photos of the two of them and would really love to find his very own special person/people.
The rescue describes Ollie as a fantastic dog, who is friendly and affectionate. He is initially shy and can be a bit wary with strangers for a few minutes, but after that will be happy to be stroked for as long as you want to stroke him!
Indeed, he was very happy to receive attention from me shortly after meeting him, though of course a new owner will need to take time to build up to the loving bond he has with those he’s most familiar with
Isn’t he gorgeous? Have to admit he reminds me a little of Scooby Doo!
One thing I observed in the time we spent together, is how much Ollie loves his special person and how much he enjoys attention from them. He did have a play with the toys in the paddock, but he was also keen to settle down and have a fuss. I gather he is rather fond of home comforts, hence his affectionate Stripey Sofa Hound title
Ollie is described as a very obedient lad who is fine to be left for short periods. He will curl up in his chair and await your return, without being destructive.
Ollie arrived with his brother, who has since been homed, but poor Ollie is still waiting for a special home where he can enjoy his freedom. He is a super dog who just wants a home of his own. Please don’t pass him by.
Ollie really deserves a chance of a home life again as all he wants to do is please you. He does not show himself off well in his kennel when strangers approach as he is frightened and stressed by kennel life, as many dogs are. Please, if you are interested in adopting him, ask to meet him away from his kennel so that you can see the lovely boy he is
The rescue says Ollie is a very calm dog, except when you get out his toys – he absolutely loves to retrieve squeaky toys, balls, frisbies etc. and he will keep going with his tail in the air until he gets tired, where he will then want to lie down and chew his toys.
Isn’t he gorgeous? I was admiring his beautiful collar too, which is from Melrose & Mutt, which also kindly donated goodies to help Oldies Club recentlyHe has a rather grand quality to him, I think. I can imagine him living on a country estate and strolling around the grounds with his new owner
If you are interested in offering Ollie a forever home and feel you can provide a loving and suitable environment, please contact Bath Cats & Dogs Home directly. Please let them know that you saw Ollie at Poochie Freak
Ollie is just one of many dogs waiting for a second chance. Best friends are found in rescue. I know mine have been
