Hi everyone,
After my partner and I separated, she took our cats and I kept our dog, Ollie. I absolutely adore him. However, with work and everything else, I’ve come to realise that on my own I can’t give him the life he truly deserves. I’ve tried my best for a while, but this thought keeps weighing on me and I know it isn’t fair on him.
Ollie is a 4-year-old miniature poodle from Malaysia, weighing 7.5 kg. He’s healthy, fully vaccinated and has yearly vet checks, though he hasn’t been neutered. He does need some training and patience as he’s understandably a little anxious after so much change. He has some behavioural issues as he can be protective around food and toys, doesn’t always get on with other dogs, and takes time to warm up to new people. He’s not keen on being touched by strangers, especially in his own space. But he's totally fine during walks in the park and can be touched or once he knows you.
That said, with love and consistency I know he will thrive. He’s playful, loyal, loves his walks and is brilliant at fetch (obsessed by his ball in fact). At heart he’s a wonderful boy who deserves a stable, caring home.
It’s with a heavy heart that I share this. I love him dearly, but I know I can’t sustain this alone. Life isn’t always a straight line. If you know someone who might be looking to adopt, or if you have any leads, I’d be so grateful. I truly hope to find a patient and loving home where Ollie can flourish. We’d like to meet any potential adopters too, to make sure Ollie is comfortable with them.
Please no judgement. This is only about doing the very best for him.
Thank you so much for reading
