❤️❤️❤️ our sweet boy is still looking for a home!

He’s now at the SPCA waiting on his forever ❤️

🐾 My Name is Ollie Pop, and I'm Looking for My Second Chance 🐾

Hi everyone, my name is Ollie Pop. I'm a 2-year-old male pit mix, and I hope you'll take a moment to hear my story.

Before I came to the SPCA, life wasn't very kind to me. I was found by Martinsville City Animal Control chained to a staircase with a padlock around my neck. I couldn't move without choking myself. I had no food, no water, and no way to get off those stairs. Every step I took made it harder to breathe. I was so scared and confused, I did not know what I did wrong for someone to treat me that way..

Thank goodness someone must have contacted Animal Control to help me and my friend because a kind animal control officer found me and changed my life. She showed me what compassion feels like. On the day she rescued me I felt safe for the first time in a very long time. She even stopped and got me my very first pup cup from Starbucks. I still remember how amazing it tasted, it was so much fun riding around in the big police truck I wanted to play the big loud siren and go wee woo wee woo but I was not allowed to do that... But the officer did let me sneak in a quick kiss and I got her good to, all slobber!

Despite everything I've been through, I haven't given up on people. I still greet everyone with a wagging tail and a goofy smile. I love people, I enjoy making dog friends, and I spend every day hoping someone will see me for who I am—not where I came from.

I'm not asking for a perfect family. I'm just hoping for a family that will love me, care for me, and never make me wonder if I'll be safe again.

My past was heartbreaking, but my future doesn't have to be.

If you've got room in your heart and home for a silly, loving boy who is ready for a fresh start, please come meet me. I promise I'll make you smile every day. I understand if you can not adopt a pet right now but will you please share my post and help me find my forever home?

❤️ Love,
Ollie Pop
