Olim

My story

Hi… my name is Olim 🐾 I’m 2 years old, 18kg, and people say I look like a Border Collie × Shetland Sheepdog mix. I have a balanced build, a full, beautiful coat, and something very special about my eyes. If you look closely, you’ll see it — I have parti-colored eyes. In my dark eyes, there are soft hints of brown mixed in, making them unique and hard to forget. My fur, my gaze, my overall presence… I’m told I’m not a dog you see every day. But what matters most about me isn’t how I look. I was rescued from a past that included abuse and neglect. I don’t talk about it much. I just carry it quietly behind me. And even after those painful times, I still chose to trust people. --- I like opening my heart. I like making eye contact. I like communicating without words. When I look at you, you might notice something thoughtful there. I’m very smart. I observe carefully. I learn quickly. I read your emotions and the atmosphere around me. I listen well and understand more than you might expect. Because of my past, it seems I may have never truly lived inside a stable home. Everyday routines, house rules, the rhythm of family life — these might feel new to me at first. That means I’ll need guidance, step by step, patiently. But here’s the beautiful part: I’m ready to learn. With consistent love and calm leadership, I can grow into an incredible companion. The intelligence and loyalty from my Border Collie and Sheltie roots are inside me — waiting to fully shine. --- I love to play. I enjoy being active. I truly value time spent with my person. I get along well with other dogs and have stable social skills. I would thrive in a home that enjoys walks, activities, and shared experiences. Most of all, I need a family who understands that healing and trust grow best without rushing. I’m not just a dog who needs rescue. I’m a dog you can grow with, bond with, and build something deep and lasting with. I’m waiting for my first real home — and my last. Will you be my forever family? 🤍🐶
