Ollie was an incredibly special dog who captured the hearts of everyone he met. He was rescued from outback New South Wales where he had suffered horrendous abuse at the hands of his previous owners. Despite his traumatic start to life Ollie loved everyone and had a very sweet and gentle nature.
When Ollie arrived in our care, he was six months old and had extensive injuries which required urgent veterinary attention. In the months that followed he recovered well but it became evident he would need major surgery to live a life without significant pain.
During this time Ollie was our founder’s shadow. He helped socialise scared puppies, showed cats that big dogs weren’t always scary and accompanied her to the local TAFE to talk about responsible pet ownership. Ollie literally shook hands with everyone he met, even when a class formed a line to take turns, he willingly obliged.
Ollie underwent the life changing surgery but sadly suffered post-surgery complications. To stop his suffering, the heartbreaking decision was made to give him his angel wings. Ollie was only 12 months old and left many people with broken hearts.
To honour his memory, Ollie’s Legacy Incorporated was launched in 2021.
