About Olive

Olive is a calm and shy puppy who takes a little time to warm up to new friends. Initially hesitant, she reveals her sweet personality once you earn her trust. All she asks for is some personal space, patience, and plenty of toys to keep her entertained. When Olive first arrived at her foster home, she spent her time hiding in the backyard. Fast forward a month, and she’s blossomed into a playful and affectionate companion, especially with her sister Junie by her side. They thrive together and adopting them as a pair would help ease Olive's transition into a new home. Currently crate and potty trained, she does have some challenges with leashes. With consistent practice and positive reinforcement, she’ll learn to walk on one in no time. Olive enjoys play fighting and running around with Junie, turning any yard into their playground. She'd make a lovely addition to any family, especially alongside her sister. Can you give this sweet girl a home? What are you waiting for? Apply today!
