about ollie and lulu

Ollie and Lulu came to us after their previous owner could no longer care for them. When they arrived, they were suffering from untreated medical issues and severe dental disease, leaving them uncomfortable and withdrawn. But with proper veterinary care and lots of love, they’ve transformed into completely different dogs—happy, affectionate, and full of personality.

Though they may be in their golden years, these two still have plenty of pep in their step. They enjoy daily walks, yard time, and simply being together. Their bond is heartwarming, and their goofy, lovable natures have made them instant favorites among our volunteers.

Ollie and Lulu do have some ongoing medical needs, but they handle them like champs. Ollie takes daily eye drops and medication to manage arthritis pain, while Lulu is under the care of a cardiologist for degenerative valvular disease and takes heart medication twice a day. Thankfully, both are incredibly cooperative—they take their meds and eye drops without any trouble, like true pros.

They’re dog-selective and would do best either as the only pets or with a calm, gentle dog who respects their space. Ollie may bark at other dogs in passing, while Lulu tends to ignore them. They’ve also done wonderfully with respectful, dog-savvy children who understand when to give them space.

Lulu does appreciate her quiet time and occasionally likes to nap undisturbed, but she communicates her needs clearly. Ollie, on the other hand, is always cheerful, cuddly, and eager to be near his people.

They’ve proven to be excellent houseguests during overnight stays with our volunteers—calm, well-mannered, and a joy to be around. With their big hearts and easygoing personalities, Ollie and Lulu are ready to spend their golden years surrounded by love, comfort, and companionship.

If you’re looking to welcome two incredibly special dogs into your home, Ollie and Lulu would love nothing more than to be your loyal companions.
