OLSA
Meet OLSASweet Olsa is part of a bonded pair with Falcon, who is most likely her father. They were left behind when the family moved away, and found themselves in our shelter, sad and confused. But they have each other and that seems to make all the difference! They have been in foster care for several months and are doing very well there.Olsa is about eight years old and about 43 pounds. She is an adorable girl, quiet most of the time except when shes trying to get her buddy to play! She loves going on walks around the neighborhood but otherwise shes just happy to hang out; she's not fit enough for more exercise, so she wouldn't be a good hiking buddy. The two of them are so easy that anybody who wants dogs that make few demands but are good company would be lucky to have these two. They are crate trained and love going on car rides as well and of course they are housebroken. They do great with other dogs and seemed scared when they met a cat. They are gentle with children.Olsa is shy when she first meets people so you need to give her a chance to warm up. She will need multiple meetings with a potential adopter to get to that point, and a gradual transition to a new home. But once she does shes a lovely companion and would be perfect for someone who just wants some dogs to hang around with that don't require much. She is also quite frightened by new or sudden sounds, so anyone who adopts her would need to be able to handle a 40-ish pound dog that might be startled and pull sharply on a leash. The rest of the time she walks beautifully.Olsa and Falcon are very attached to each other, and need to go together to a home with a secure yard and a patient family who will let them settle in and build trust at their own pace. The reward is two dogs who are affectionate, obedient, quiet, and easy to have around!
