About Olive

Olive is the kind of dog that quietly grows on you—her foster family calls her the easiest and sweetest they've ever had. She spent her puppy years at the shelter after losing an eye, then began her home life only three months ago. At first, everything about living in a house with people seemed strange to her. She adapted quickly, though. These days, Olive loves gentle pats on the head and kisses on the nose; she’ll happily take a treat and curls up at night on a dog bed or peacefully at the end of the bed. She never jumps up or gets underfoot, and she’s sharp—she figured out the dog door and house training all on her own. Olive is content just hanging nearby, whether you’re watching TV or working. There's a grounded steadiness to her that makes every day feel easier. She gets along well with other dogs, too. You won’t find a more sincere or undemanding companion.
