My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Ollie was part of a cruelty confiscate by the Memphis Animal Services. He was adopted within two weeks. After two months the family decided he was to fearful for them to work, and cause of a newborn baby in the home with two other dog’s. He stayed outside in the backyard during that time. I have done a lot of work with him and have brought him out of his shell some and he really is a sweet gentle soul with a soft timid temperament. Ollie has a huge problem with traffic while walking so it’s recommended to only drive to very quiet parks or areas with no noise or events. He is great inside the house and does not need a lot of kissing or petting his owner. Ollie decides when he is ready to give or receive affection. It’s just part of his Breed behavior of a Chow. He also has a little Husky in him along with Wheaten Terrier. Do he’s a pretty sweet confused guy! He needs someone with a very gentle nature and has time and patience to work with him. It will take awhile for him to warm up to someone new.
