Ollie is a shy boy, but packed with personality.
He’s a 4-year-old Havanese with longer legs than most of his breed. We call him a Havanese giantus. He’s a snuggler who’s always close by, preferably on your lap.
He loves chasing toys and going on walks while sniffing and reading the doggie newspaper the entire time. Ollie is very food motivated and not a fussy eater.
He lets me brush his teeth everyday and reluctantly allows me to brush his fur and cut his toe nails. He’s super sweet and doesn’t mind cats or other dogs. He approaches them carefully to say hi, but never barks or growls.
Ollie is a funny boy. He greets us after every absence, no matter how short, like we’ve been gone for years. He does the same thing every morning when we wake up. Ollie always makes us feel loved. I can’t imagine a sweeter boy to share our lives with.
