Hi!!
I’m Ollie, The Do Good Dog.
Starting Wednesday 8/13/25, I went on a trip to finish raising 5 million dollars for shelters and did river cleanups. I now live in Tampa and love to Jet Ski. Dad and I have cleaned up 3125 pounds of trash from waterways. On “Ollie’s River Adventure Part 2” we Jet Skied 510 miles down the Ohio River from Cincinnati to The Mississippi, with all donations going directly to charities. Mom followed us in a van for when it was time to eat and sleep.
My dad did this for charity 42 years ago. He threw in a first pitch at a Pirates game then Jet Skied 500 miles to Cincinnati and threw a first pitch at a Reds game 5 days later. Dad and I made that same Pittsburgh to Cincy trip in August 2023 and raised nearly1 million dollars so we hope to raise 4 million more. Please spread the word. All donations go directly to shelters. Also, separately we do have a small gofundme to help with trip expenses.

Lavender is a big believer in frequent naps. She is quite the expert in the art of napping! We are so glad to have her on our team! Her sleep ethic and pawsitive catitude are an inspiration to us all!
The Goals of Ollie's River Adventure Part 2:
​1. Our FIRST Goal is to finish raising a total of 5 Million for Shelters Nationwide. Every penny donated directly to NO KILL shelters on their Donate pages.
-Funds to keep pets safe while finding them a new loving home.
-Pay for vaccinations, check ups, spaying & neutering. FACT: Two cats for example, not spayed or neutered can lead to 2 Million cats in just 8 years!
-Help shelters spread the word and raise awareness about breed-specific shelters so people can avoid puppy mills.
2. Our SECOND Goal is to inspire 10,000 Adoptions.
3. Our THIRD Goal is to Inspire 10,000 people to volunteer at shelters. Excess screen time causes stress, anxiety and depression, especially in teens. Caring for animals is proven to reduce stress, anxiety and depression. We want to make that connection. As Ollie says "Put down the phone, pick up a pup and help us clean up! More Licks, Less Clicks"
​4. Our FOURTH Goal is to Help Clean Up! Along with our friends at Orsanco, we did river cleanups as we went down the river. We also do cleanups all over Florida on our own and with groups like "Keep Tampa Bay Beautiful" and "Keep Pinellas Beautiful".
Want to help? Look in your heart. It’s the best place to start!
