Ollie's Story

Ollie is a goofy, affectionate boy with a PhD in Couch Potato Studies, a master's degree in cuddling, and an Olympic-level obsession with balls. His favourite things in life are his people, his toys, and finding the comfiest spot in the house to dramatically flop over for a nap.


This lovable lad thrives on companionship and would love a home where he can enjoy indoor-outdoor access and be included in all aspects of family life. Whether you're heading out on an adventure or settling in for a Netflix marathon, Ollie is ready to be your loyal sidekick. When playtime rolls around, he transforms into a toy-loving goofball, happily chasing his toys and proudly parading around with them in his mouth as though he's just won the lottery.


Ollie is also a clever cookie who is highly food-motivated and eager to learn. A tasty treat can convince him that almost anything is a great idea! He loves enrichment activities like snuffle mats and puzzle toys and firmly believes that meals should require at least a little detective work before being eaten.


Like many enthusiastic young gentlemen, Ollie can sometimes get a little too excited about life. When he's feeling overwhelmed or extra pumped up, he may jump up and bark to share his feelings with the world. Because of this, he'll need a patient and understanding family committed to ongoing training, impulse-control practice, and providing a structured routine to help him be his best self.


Ollie may be best suited to a home with older, calmer children. He could also enjoy having a calm, social doggy friend to hang out with, provided a successful meet-and-greet confirms they're a good match.


With plenty of love, guidance, and opportunities for cuddles and ball-chasing, Ollie is sure to become a loyal, hilarious companion who will keep you smiling every day!

What should I feed my dog?

Your dog's diet should be based on a high-quality, balanced premium commercial dog food that is suited to their specific life stage (puppy, adolescent, adult, pregnant, senior) and health condition.

The amount of food your dog needs will depend on factors like their size, breed, age, and activity level. However, it’s important not to overfeed or underfeed. Your vet can weigh your dog, assess their body condition score, and offer feeding recommendations.

To prevent bloat, which can be life-threatening, adult dogs should be fed at least twice a day and should not engage in exercise right before or after meals. This is especially important for deep-chested breeds like Boxers and German Shepherds.

Make sure fresh drinking water is always available. Do not give your dog milk as it can lead to gastrointestinal issues.

Should I feed bones to my dog?

Bones offer dogs nutrients and mental stimulation while helping remove tartar from their teeth. However, bones can also break teeth, cause blockages, and carry harmful bacteria. Consider these factors to make an informed decision for your pet and family’s wellbeing.

Dental chews are a good alternative if you wish to provide your pet with entertainment that assists with teeth cleaning. Visit RSPCA World for Pets for a range of quality dental chews for your dog.
