About Olive

Olive is a remarkable dog who leaves a lasting impression once you meet her. This sweet Hound mix, around 6 to 8 years old and weighing about 25 pounds, blends a calm demeanor with just enough spark to keep life lively. Her journey began unexpectedly when she and another dog were found wandering on a rural road. Now, she has embraced a safe and loving environment, slowly gaining confidence day by day. Olive initially showed signs of shyness, but regular walks have helped her blossom into a more self-assured companion. Intelligent and gentle, Olive is crate trained and learning her house manners. She walks nicely on a harness, though her hound instincts can kick in around squirrels, so a secure leash is essential. Note that Olive has a strong prey drive and requires a cat-free home. She thrives in a quieter lifestyle and would enjoy having a fenced yard, though regular leash walks suffice as well. In the evenings, Olive loves to curl up on the couch, content just to be near her person. She would be a perfect fit for a retiree, empty nester, or anyone seeking a devoted companion who requires little drama in their life. If you think Olive could be the perfect addition to your home, reach out today at Critter Cavalry Rescue!
