I got to spend a week with Ollie in the shelter. Despite being a "yard dog", he had great manners and would even hold it in his kennel. He'd bark longingly each morning when he heard me arrive, waiting to go for a walk. He was a very calm and affectionate fellow. But since he tested heartworm positive (another problem with chaining your dogs outdoors 24/7), it was getting hard to find him a home.
But thanks to pledges from Becky, Lorraine, Nancy, Barbara, Alice, and Cindy totalling $630 for his heartworm treatement, he was rescued on January 14, 2021 by Atlanta Lab Rescue!

Meds: 1/7/21 DA2PPv, deworm, flea spray; 1/11/21 heartworm positive
Note: picked up stray 1/7/21 on Tall Oaks West; owner unknown. "Ollie" is a calm and social boy. On a leashed interaction with another dog in the shelter he mainly did a lot of sniffing; no immediate aggression or growling was seen. He is good on the leash.
