OLAF - PIT BULL TERRIER / MIXED (MEDIUM COAT) DOG FOR ADOPTION

Description

Dog Breed: Pit Bull Terrier / Mixed (medium coat). Olaf is a handsome 60 pound 7 year old male American Bully mix. This good old boy hasn’t had a smooth time lately, but he takes it in stride, always happy to see everyone, always ready with a smooch or a cuddle. Olaf was adopted several years ago but was returned because his owner had lost his job and was unable to give him the care he needed. He did the right thing since Olaf definitely needed help, and our vet staff was eager to help. When he returned to us, Olaf had developed entropion, a condition where his eyelashes turned inward, skimming the surface of his eye. If you have ever had something in your eye than you know how irritating that can be - imagine 30 + eyelashes at once! It was the first thing our staff corrected, and even though it had to be driving him mad, Olaf had a kind demeanor and a happy grin for everyone through it all. Olaf also suffers from hypothyroidism. This means his thyroid does not produce enough hormone to keep his metabolism going. Thankfully, this is an easy and cheap issue to deal with, and with a daily thyroid supplement, Olaf has kicked hypothyroidism in the butt! Olaf also has some allergy issues. While figuring them all out has been a work in progress, it is work that our vet staff has fully embraced. He is currently on an allergy food, and fingers crossed, it seems to be working! Olaf is a sweet boy, he is housetrained, has plenty of house manners, walks well on a leash, knows how to sit, and just loves to quietly be with you. This boy isn’t a bounce off the walls type - he’s a bit of a couch potato really. Sure, he loves a walk…not a long walk necessarily, but a walk all the same! What he won’t do is drive you crazy - he’s mature, he’s settled, he’s relaxed, he’s sane. He’s perfect for someone who is done with all those puppy and teenage shenanigans and just wants a companion whose first priority is snuggles and relaxation. Olaf is into that for sure. He would do best in a home with humans 15 and older, and would need to meet any resident dogs prior to placement. We are unsure of cats. Olaf is searching for someone willing to take him home, help him finally achieve the dream of a loving family who will stick by his side after the disappointments of his past. His fee is sponsored and waived and we are very open to discussing future help that we can provide to keep him on the track to optimal health. We want Olaf to know love and comfort and HOME. Whatever we need to do to get him there, we are willing to do. Olaf and this whole organization just need someone who sees his enormous value and worth and is willing to join our team fighting to keep Olaf healthy and happy. He deserves a chance to be loved and to heal outside of these shelter walls.
