About Olivia

Olivia was found as a stray, roaming with her siblings, all of them painfully thin. That rough start makes her current chapter even sweeter. This playful girl weighs about 14 pounds and is brimming with personality and joy. She loves cuddling with stuffed toys, retrieving her favorite plastic chicken, and playing with her foster buddy, Ocean—though they don’t have to be adopted together. Olivia is motivated by treats and responds well to positive reinforcement training. She is currently working on potty training and leash manners, so Olivia needs a patient family that’s committed to consistency. For now, she should be double-leashed during walks for safety. With her confident and dominant personality, slow, controlled introductions and ongoing socialization will help her thrive. The ideal home for Olivia offers structure, patience, and positive training, along with plenty of playtime and adventure. In return, she will bring a tremendous amount of love and character to your family. She's come so far from where she began, and with the right guidance, she has every potential to become a wonderful, loyal companion. Ready to meet Olivia?
