Ollie's Story

Ollie is adorable, quirky, and a little shy at firstOllie - Adoption Bio<br/>Ollie is a gentle soul with a heart of gold, waiting for the right person to help her shine. At first, Ollie may be a little shy, preferring to take things slow while she gets to know you. Once trust is built, you will discover a loyal companion who will stand by your side through life&#39;s quiet moments and joyful days.<br/><br/>Ollie is searching for a patient, understanding adopter who can offer her the stability and kindness she deserves. Ollie thrives in a calm, steady environment, where routines bring her comfort, and gentle handling shows her the world is a safe place. She shines brightest when given structure, patience, and enrichment. She&#39;s the kind of dog who will make your home feel fuller, your days brighter, and your heart lighter. Whether you&#39;re a senior looking for a loyal sidekick, a quiet household wanting a devoted friend, or a multi-dog family ready to welcome another gentle soul, Ollie is ready to bring joy, laughter, and unconditional love to your life.<br/><br/>Back Story<br/>Likely born in the desert with minimal socialization until captured by Animal Control, she once lived with a loving family, displaying food-driven behavior and allowing her human dad to pet her. Due to a family tragedy, Ollie (Olive) found herself in need of treatment or sanctuary. With the right family and commitment, we believe Ollie can thrive with humans once again.<br/><br/>Behavior Profile<br/>When Ollie isn&#39;t enjoying peaceful cuddles, she&#39;s ready for playing, a romp in the yard, or relaxing as a professional couch companion. She gets along well with other dogs and can live harmoniously with cats, making her a great fit for the right multi-pet home. She already has wonderful house manners, is crate trained, and walks beautifully on a leash.<br/><br/>Positive Attributes:<br/> Loves quiet moments and gentle affection.<br/> Always up for a romp in the yard.<br/> Professional snuggler and couch companion.<br/> Can live harmoniously with cats.<br/> Loves being part of a family.<br/> Already has great house manners.<br/> A survivor with a heart full of hope.<br/> Guaranteed to keep you smiling.<br/><br/>Behavior Challenges<br/> Shy at first, but blooms into a loyal companion once trust is built.<br/> Appreciates a quieter home away from loud, sudden noises.<br/> Sensitive soul who feels safest with a steady routine.<br/> Unique quirks that improve with structure and enrichment.<br/> Prefers slow, gentle handling and builds trust over time.<br/><br/>If you cannot adopt right now, will you help by sponsoring monthly?<br/><br/>You can help sanctuary, adoptable, in-treatment, and new-intake dogs by giving $10 or more each month. Your charitable support helps provide food, medications, veterinary care, training, and love our dogs need while they wait for a family, heal, or live in the sanctuary.

Pets Return Home's Adoption Policy
YOU MUST COMPLETE AN ADOPTION APPLICATION AT WWW.PETSRETURNHOME.ORG/ADOPTION-APPLICATION IN ORDER TO START THE PROCESS. Our Adoption Process: https://www.petsreturnhome.org/adoption-process It is our goal to find a family best suited for the dog and vice-versa. 1. Identify the dog or puppy you are interested in via online, adoption event, or by visiting our facility. 2. Complete an application for the dog you are interested in taking home: https://www.petsreturnhome.org/adoption-application 3. Once submitted your application will be reviewed, references checked and a home check scheduled. 4. We will send you a link to our online scheduling portal for you to make an appointment to come see us. 5. If you have other dogs we may ask you to bring them to the ranch to meet your potential new family member. ALL VISITS ARE BY APPOINTMENT ONLY. 6. Upon an approved home check you will come to the facility, complete an adoption agreement and take your new family companion home. When you submit an application, please note: - Any missing information in your application will delay the processing of your application. - Processing normally takes less than a week from the time your application has been received and you have selected an animal, to the point at which you will sign the contract and receive your pup or dog. - When submitting your application, please make sure you can be available to sign the adoption agreement and to accept your new pet. Interview: - As a first step in processing your application, you will be interviewed by one of our adoption counselors. This is the time for you to ask any questions that you may have about the organization, our processes or our dogs. - The interview will take place at an adoption event, our ranch or over the phone. - All interviewed applicants are then sent to the review committee for approval. Home-check: - Home-checks are assigned to a volunteer in your area. The volunteer will contact you to arrange for a mutually agreeable time to do your home-check. - The home check may take place before the adoption or post-adoption depending upon the circumstances. Home checks are generally performed by an adoption counselor before the dog is transferred to the new adoptive family. - At adoption events, we may allow a dog to go home with the adoptive family based upon the adoption application, personal interview by an adoption counselor and the agreement to do a home check at a time convenient for all parties. This gives time for the adoptive family to get used to the dog and determine if the fit is a good one. - We have the right, per the adoption agreement to remove a dog from a home should the home environment be deemed unhealthy for a dog. Vet Check: - If you own or have owned a companion animal we will contact your veterinarian for a reference check. Please make sure to contact your veterinarian to give authorization for us to speak to them. Adoption Agreement Signing: - Once your interview, home-check, and vet check have been completed and the review committee has approved your application, you will be contacted by phone or email to give you final instructions for your agreement signing. -We do not guarantee the health of any of our dogs for adoption. Any time you adopt an animal, you should take him to a licensed veterinarian as soon as possible. Your dog is healthy to the best of our knowledge and experience.
