My husband and I adopted Ollie about a year ago and we could not be happier. We looked for many months for the perfect dog, and the instant we met Ollie we knew he was meant for us. Initially, he was a bit scared and hesitant, but it didn't take him to warm up to his new home. When we brought him home he didn't seem to know what treats were and wasn't sure what to do with toys. As you can see from the picture, he learned fast!! He loves toys and playing, and also thinks he's a lap dog and can frequently be found in the armchair on my husband's lap. He has no idea that he weighs 60 pounds. He is the joy of the neighborhood children, whom he is so gentle and loving with. He also loves car rides, as we frequently take him to Michigan to visit our family. He is the fastest learner and has picked up many tricks and commands since we brought him home.
For anyone thinking of getting a shelter dog, I simply can't say enough good things about Magnificent Mutts. The whole process of adopting him went smoothly and the staff at Magnificent Mutts were so nice and helpful. They are so great at fostering the dogs and forming connections that really help you get to know your dog before you bring him home. We could not have asked for a more perfect dog for us. We wanted to thank you, Magnificent Mutts, and let you know that Ollie is very loved and happy (and maybe just a little spoiled.) :)
