Description
Dog Breed: Hound (medium coat). ***He is available for adoption in the New Jersey and surrounding areas. To apply for the adoption of Ollie, please submit an application at socorescue (no need to register or login). Questions about Ollie and/or our adoption policy should be sent to socorescue8gmail. Please no phone calls.*** Ollie is a beautiful hound, perhaps purebred. He has the typical hound personality: friendly, independent, loyal and loves to be outdoors and loves to hunt. He will do best on a farm and with a pet parent familiar with hounds. He is good with other dogs, leash trained and house trained. Ollie was found as a stray in the Glenwood, GA area in April of 2022, just prior to the time that we fully relocated to our new home in Tarrytown. He was very thin, terrified and spent everyday cowering in a corner. Our staff worked tirelessly to help calm his fearful state, but saw very little progress. While he was very dog friendly, Ollie just didn't seem to trust people. But once we moved Ollie to our new location, his entire demeanor changed almost overnight! He now seems to thrive with human contact, loves going on leash walks (and doesn't pull!) and has a very affectionate personality. He loves being outdoors and needs plenty of room to run, play and explore. If you own lots of land, love the "Barrrooo!" of a Hound, then Ollie is the dog for you. Ollie has been fully vetted and kept up to date with his annual vaccinations, de-wormings and monthly flea/tick and heart worm preventatives. His recent heart worm test, which consisted of both an Antigen (test for adult female heartworms), which was negative, and a Microfilaria test (test for Microfilaria or baby heartworms.) which resulted in a positive test results. Our vet, Dr. Steven Everette, recommended the use of Ivermectin as Ollie's monthly heartworm preventative as it will kill the microfilaria. Dr. Everette did not think having Ollie treated for heartworms would be necessary at this time.

Breed overview
Overview:
A mongrel, mutt, or mixed-breed dog, is a dog that is not the result of breeding within an existing breed or to modify or create a breed and belongs to no breed. In the United States, the term "mixed-breed" is a favored synonym over "mongrel" among many who wish to avoid negative connotations associated with the latter term. The implication that such dogs must be a mix of defined breeds may stem from an inverted understanding of the origins of dog breeds. Pure breeds have been, for the most part, artificially created from random-bred populations by human selective breeding with the purpose of enhancing desired physical, behavioral, or temperamental characteristics. Dogs that are not purebred are not necessarily a mix of such defined breeds. Therefore, among experts and fans of such dogs, "Mongrel" is still the preferred term.
