Meet Olive, the longest-running resident at the rescue. She’s a loyal, lively Australian Cattle Dog / Blue Heeler mix in Mocksville, NC, with a talent for making her favorite people the center of her world. Olive thrives in a specific environment: she needs a home with either a single female, a female couple, or possibly a single male, as she’s proven herself protective of her chosen humans, especially women, around men in the household. This trait has landed her back at the rescue before, so the right person matters. Once Olive bonds, her loyalty is steadfast. She has great recall, walks well off leash, and responds to commands like 'sit,' 'down,' 'stay,' and 'ride.' She loves tagging along for adventures—especially car rides—and always wants to be helpful. Olive does well with cats and is selective with canine friends, preferring a home where she isn’t competing for attention. All vet work is current: she's spayed, microchipped, vaccinated, and dewormed. Olive is house trained and ready for someone who gets her unique needs. Give her a chance, and you'll have a devoted sidekick. Ready to meet your new best friend? Apply now!
