About Olive

Olive is a delightful 1-year-old female Collie/Border Collie mix, weighing about 50 pounds. She came to us as a stray after being surrendered from a local shelter, and she has quickly shown her sweet personality. Olive absolutely adores children and gets along well with other dogs, making her a perfect companion for a household with an active lifestyle. Despite her playful nature, she can be a bit too curious around cats and tends to chase them playfully. Olive is crate-trained and leash-broken but will need some guidance with housetraining. She’s selective about men; while not aggressive, she's cautious and protective, so this needs to be respected. With the right family, Olive has the potential to blossom. She thrives in an environment where she can engage in fun activities with another playful dog and requires a fenced yard to feel safe and secure. If you’re looking for a fun-loving dog to join your family, Olive is waiting! Let’s help her find her forever home. What are you waiting for? Apply today!
