He’s smart, sensitive, and full of opinions—but give him a tennis ball and a little space, and this noble guy will gladly show off his Sit, his speed, and his soft side.What Makes Oleg So Wise:•Loves a plush toy… until it squeaks (very suspicious)•Excellent leash manners—he checks in with his person like a true gentleman•Responds to cues like “Sit” and “Come” (he listens!)•Enjoys playtime and physical activity but knows how to settle•Not super into strangers, but warms up with kind attention•Polite? Sometimes. Pushy? Also sometimes. He’s still learning the finer points of diplomacy.Kid-friendly? Yes! Oleg could do well with kids 6+ who are respectful and give him time to settle in.Dog-friendly? On a dog-by-dog basis. He may need a few meet-and-greets and some firm guidance on proper etiquette.Cats? Unknown! Oleg’s Ideal Day:•Wake up. Stretch like a medieval scroll.•Play fetch, briefly distrust the squeaky toy, chase the tennis ball instead.•Walk beside your person like a noble knight on patrol.•Receive gentle praise and medium scratches.•Nap in peace after solving all of life’s small mysteries.Oleg is the kind of dog who thinks before he commits, who wants a home that respects his brain and his boundaries—but also plays with him, laughs with him, and lets him be just a little extra now and then. With structure, patience, and a soft place to land, he’ll be your goofy, soulful companion for life.---Condensed Staff Assessment Notes: Oleg is a playful young dog who enjoys physical activity, especially playing with plush toys and catching tennis balls.
