Please also consider our Overlooked Oldies- the dogs who have been patiently waiting for new homes longest of all. They desperately need homes of their own! You can submit an oldie for listing by our site editors here .
We also have some non-oldie dogs who need very special homes due to mental or physical problems, listed in Other Special Dogs Needing Homes. Please consider them!

A total gentleman loved by all he meets, Ollie is a small Crossbreed with a lovely face. He has been diagnosed with epilepsy which is being managed by medication and has been seizure-free since. He’s great with kids and dogs, though prefers to live with older ones, and could possibly live with a dog-savvy cat. Could someone please give cute Ollie the chance he needs?
