Ollie is a handsome, happy, and fun-loving Golden Retriever with a heart full of love. While he enjoys occasional zoomies in the yard, he’s more of a cuddle bug who prefers to rest or snuggle rather than go for long walks. At 75 lbs, Ollie’s idea of the perfect day includes lounging with his favorite people, getting belly rubs, and being showered with affection. He’s incredibly loyal, forming strong attachments, especially to his favorite person, and thrives on human companionship.
Special Considerations: Ollie experiences seizures a few times a month, so he needs a home that is familiar with or open to managing his condition. He requires daily anti-seizure medication, and while his seizures are manageable, they require understanding and patience. Ollie also benefits from a calm environment with another chill dog for companionship, as he tends to relax best when he has a furry friend nearby.
House Manners: Ollie is housetrained and well-behaved indoors. He’s typically crated or baby-gated when left alone, as he can get into mischief if unsupervised, especially since he still enjoys exploring! That said, he’s happiest when near his people and doesn’t like being left outside for too long. If he’s out in the yard, especially in Austin’s heat, he’ll quickly let you know it’s time to come back inside by pressing against the door.
Ideal Home: Ollie would thrive in a home where he gets plenty of love and gentle care. He’s not as rambunctious as other young Goldens but enjoys the occasional burst of energy. A chill dog in the household would be ideal for companionship. He’s best suited for a family without small children or elderly individuals, as his size and occasional energy might be overwhelming. Most importantly, Ollie needs a family committed to continuing his anti-seizure care, offering the patience and love he deserves. Are you Ollie’s forever home?
