A dark knight with beautiful and mysterious amber eyes. A story untold as he does not talk…Old scars marking his legs and face, witnesses of an assault without a known culprit…Who are you, handsome and stern looking Olie ? We will never know and will just look at now and plan for later, hopefully a better future than the life you had until now… Olie rests calmly in his kennel in the adoption wards. He is leashed easily and walks quite well , relaxed, pulling slightly, marking very seldomly his new territory and nearing other dogs with respect and assurance. He accepts petting, looks at me right in the eyes and wags his tail softly. Olie will not sit, on command, for a ball or a treat. He is quite eager for the latter and will demand more. Olie is very determined in his wants… He certainly knows what a ball is and has played before to land at the care center…He will jump high to get it from his handler and is a bit pushy at times. He runs fast, catches the ball and drops it in exchange for another one. Olie is a strong willed dog with an unknown past. He clearly wanted to play in his first playgroup with a female peer…More encounters of the same type will tell us more about Olie’s compatibility with his own kind as his past ordeal might have left unseen scars in his soul..Beside sheer handsomeness, Olie has in him sociability, playfulness , respect for people and other dogs but is a bit rough on the edges. A perfect match exists out there for our boy like there is one for each of us… Give Olie a safe home, love, guidance and rules and he will be the poster child for the “Man/Woman Best Friend”, the loyal, respectful and loving companion one always dreams of. Olie is at the Manhattan Care Center waiting for his new master and teacher.
Another volunteer writes: Big dog looking for a big-hearted partner! Olie is a sturdy fellow who needs a strong and kind friend to take him in. Olie may have had a difficult past, yet as he ever-so-delicately took treats from my hand, I saw in him a gentle soul, seeking that special person who can show him the softer side of life. Are you the one? Don’t wait, come and meet meet this handsome boy today.
PROFILE:
6/11: Olie arrived at the care center with bites of unknown origin. Although he has shown no concerning behaviors on-leash when he sees other dogs, his history is unknown, so he is muzzled for this interaction. He is a bit distracted by the muzzle but allows the helper dog to sniff him all over; he remains neutral and does not move. When she walks away he bounds through the pen in attempts to have the helper dog chase him. She does not so he ceases and is then solely focused on removing his muzzle. He is separated, his muzzle is removed and he walks over to the gate to again greet the helper dog–he is loose and wagging.
SAFER:
Olie came into our center after police found him as a stray covered in wounds that appear he was bitten. He was friendly and allowed all handling during his medical exam, including cleaning his wounds. Olie walked well on leash for his relief walk, no pulling, but did startle at loud sounds. He was calm and friendly upon entering SAFER assessment room. Olie held gaze for three full seconds during Look item, body soft. He leaned into assessor during Sensitivity item, open mouth, ears and tail neutral. Olie followed at the end of the leash for Tag game, body soft, settled easily at end of game. He did not pull his paw back on first Squeeze attempt, sniffed assessor’s hand. Olie gently pulled his paw back on second attempt. Olie playfully engaged with Toy, kept a firm grip with loose, wiggly body. When off leash with other dogs, Olie engages in running, exuberant play with playful females. He plays in short bursts and corrects when overwhelmed.
Look: 1. Dog holds gaze with soft eyes, soft body. He allows head to be held loosely in Assessor’s cupped hands. Dog holds gaze for three full seconds.

Group Behavior:
6/11: Olie arrived at the care center with bites of unknown origin. Although he has shown no concerning behaviors on-leash when he sees other dogs, his history is unknown, so he is muzzled for this interaction. He is a bit distracted by the muzzle but allows the helper dog to sniff him all over; he remains neutral and does not move. When she walks away he bounds through the pen in attempts to have the helper dog chase him. She does not so he ceases and is then solely focused on removing his muzzle. He is separated, his muzzle is removed and he walks over to the gate to again greet the helper dog–he is loose and wagging.
6/14 update: Olie is again muzzled to assure his compatibility with other dogs. He greets politely and when the gate is opened he allows greeting with a low wagging tail. He will occasionally run through the pen with the other dog but, again, he is distracted by his muzzle and does not engage much.
6/15: A muzzle is applied to Olie, he engages in bouncy running play with the helper dog.
6/22: Olie is introduced without a muzzle. He displays low, submissive mod language when approached, then begins to bounce after and solicit play when the helper female runs away. When play becomes exuberant, Olie becomes uncomfortable and offers strong correction, placing his paws on the helper and air snapping.
6/23: Olie engages in running, exuberant play with other payful females. He plays in short bursts and corrects when overwhelmed.
6/24 update: Olie is still unsure of play/how to solicit appropriately. He does engage play when solicited by does get mouthy.
6/25 update: Olie engages in rough, running play with a social female. He often will push into her and mouth her legs during play.
6/28: Olie engages in wrestling play with another playful male dog.
