I am looking for a home for Ollie

A home with an understanding of resource guarding , common sense and the ability to quickly recognise the signs when Ollie is guarding and how to deal with it .

Ollie was due to be euthanised before he was surrendered to Spaniel Assist .

He went into a foster home with 2 resident dogs but it is become clear that he does need to be an only dog in the home.

Although he is fine with all dogs when out walking.

No children due to his guarding .

Ollie is obedient and enjoys his walks , he is intelligent and in the right home he can be managed .

Please read the foster evaluation below.
