Meet Colt ("Ollie")!
Ollie is searching for his forever home!
Possibly a Corgi/Brittany Spaniel mix, Ollie has a face that looks like it was drawn by Disney—
and his magnificent ears are absolutely unforgettable. He's the cutest little low-rider you may
ever meet.
Ollie's dream home includes an endless supply of stuffed toys, a snuffle mat, people who are
home often, and plenty of car rides.
Car rides are his absolute favourite thing in the world. Whether it's a quick coffee run or a
weekend adventure, Ollie is happiest simply being included in your day. Despite his short legs,
he also loves going for walks and is wonderful on leash. He happily strolls through the
neighbourhood and would thrive in a home with a secure yard where he can sunbathe, sniff, and
explore. (His only request? No skunks, please. He met one once... and it did not end well!)
Every time you come home, Ollie will proudly greet you at the door with a toy—even if you've
only been out to the garage. He carefully squirrels away his favourite toys (and sometimes treats)
in his special lair under the bed, so he'd love a home where he can create a little hideaway of his
own. Toilet paper tubes are another prized possession that get tucked away for future enjoyment.
We haven't had the opportunity to test Ollie with cats. We do feel he'd be happiest in an adultonly
home, as the hustle and bustle of young children can be overwhelming for him.
Ollie gets along well with the resident dogs but appreciates a little personal space. If another dog
gets too close, he'll politely grumble as if to say, "Hey, buddy... give me some room." He enjoys
having other dogs around and seems to take comfort in their presence, even if he prefers
admiring them from a respectful distance. Every now and then, though, he forgets himself and
breaks into joyful zoomies with the resident Pug! We think Ollie would do best with a confident,
respectful canine companion who can help him continue building confidence. He is not a fan of
unfamiliar dogs .
Ollie sleeps soundly through the night, either in his beloved lair or on a dog bed in the primary
bedroom, and he's fully housetrained. He's also working hard on mastering his basic commands.
Ollie has experienced a lot of change in his life, and as a result, he struggles with separation
anxiety. Right now, he can comfortably stay for up to four hours in an X pen (he would
enthusiastically vote to ban crates forever!) with a peanut butter-stuffed toy, his treasured snuffle
mat, and music playing. His current musical preference seems to be country—he's heard about
something called a "Cowboy Corgi" and is fully embracing the lifestyle.
While Ollie will bark to let you know you've returned home, we haven't found barking to be a
significant issue. Because anxiety has led to some destructive behaviour when left loose, he
currently does best relaxing safely in his "house" while you're away. He is taking medication to
help manage his anxiety, and we're already seeing encouraging progress. At the moment, Ollie
appears more comfortable with women, but with patience, consistency, and love, we believe he'll
continue growing in confidence. His forever family should be committed to helping him work
through his separation anxiety, and we're confident he'll continue making great strides.
If you're looking for a loyal, affectionate best friend who will happily ride shotgun on every
adventure, greet you like you've been gone for years, and love you with his whole heart, Ollie
just might be your perfect match.
