Ollie-adopted!


Hi, my name is Ollie and I'm an adult, male Black Lab.  I really am a sweet and gentle boy -- one of my favorite things is to receive pets from my human on my head.  It makes me so happy that I can't stop grinning, and my tail just wags and wags.  I'm also a big boy!  I'm not that tall, but I probably weigh about 80 lbs so I hope to find a family that can help me lose a little weight. 

I'm not a super active guy but I do very well on a leash.  I don't pull at all.  I'll go for a leisurely walk with you and just trot along nicely by your side.  I also ride really well in the car.  I am so quiet that you don't even know I'm there.  Periodically, I'll pop my head up just to make sure you are still there, and of course I don't want you to forget about me either! 

Although I am a well behaved boy, I don't know too many obedience commands.  I do know how to "come" when you call me -- but other than that, I'd need your help with the basics.  If you want to work with me, then rest assured you won't be disappointed as I really do want to please you.  Also, from what I've been told, I'm out of my destructive stage too.  What I'm into right now is some good old fashioned lovin'. 

I can't say if I'm good around cats, but in my past life I played really well with other dogs.  Living with another dog would be nice but I don't think it's 100% necessary.  I really just want to hang out and "chill" with my new human and enjoy a new lease on life. I have also lived with young children.

Adopted December 2003.
