(MA) Meet Ollie, a shy sweetheart of a dog who has not had an easy life. This 2-year-old Black Lab mix pup came into rescue in bad shape. Ollie arrived malnourished and dehydrated. To make things worse, he had a collar embedded in his neck. This caused an infection in addition to the loss of all the fur around his neck.

Thankfully, with the help of Great Dog Rescue New England and his fosters, Ollie is now healthy and happy. His only complaint is that he has been waiting over SIX MONTHS for someone to choose him for their family. He hopes he will not have to wait much longer.
