Olaf

My name is Olaf — yes, like the cheerful snowman from “Frozen”. A pretty fitting name for a handsome white fellow, don’t you think? At 6 years old, I’ve just been granted early retirement after spending most of my life as a stud for a commercial breeder. Now it’s finally my turn to learn what being a real family dog is all about.<br/><br/>Once I’m comfortable in my surroundings, I am an extremely social and friendly little guy. I enjoy the company of both two-legged and four-legged friends, and I may even be able to coexist with a feline roommate (a proper meet-and-greet would be wise, just to be sure).<br/><br/>My future family should know that I come with a learning curve — especially when it comes to toilet training. Until now, this simply wasn’t a life skill I needed, so I’ll be starting from square one. That means patience, consistency, and understanding will be key. As a male, I also have some marking habits to work through, but the good news is this: I truly want to please, and I’m motivated by praise, routine … and especially tasty treats!<br/><br/>I’m discovering that walks are actually fun — and an excellent opportunity to practise this whole “doing my business outside” concept. I’m making progress every day with guidance and structure.<br/><br/>One important note: apartment or condo living wouldn’t be the right fit for me. I’m quick to sound the alarm, and close neighbours may not appreciate my enthusiasm for announcing things.<br/><br/>So, are you the kind, patient person ready to give me my first real home and help me learn the skills I never had the chance to develop? If so, please fill out the application form — I’m more than ready to start this next chapter.<br/><br/>BREED<br/>Havanese<br/>GENDER<br/>Male<br/>AGE<br/>6 years<br/>SIZE<br/>Small (13 lbs)<br/>CHILDREN<br/>8+<br/>DOG FRIENDLY<br/>Yes<br/>CAT FRIENDLY<br/>TBD<br/>ENERGY LEVEL<br/>Medium<br/>GROOMING LEVEL<br/><br/>TO APPLY FOR ADOPTION OF THIS DOG, PLEASE VISIT OUR WEB SITE: www.animatch.ca AND FILL THE APPLICATION ON LINE.<br/>*** calls and e-mails will not be answered ***
