About Olive

Meet Olive, a charming 9-week-old Boxer/Shepherd mix who was rescued along with her siblings from the side of the road. While her brother Otis seeks attention, Olive adopts a more laid-back approach, thoughtfully observing the antics around her before joining in on the fun. This sweet snuggle bug would rather cuddle in a warm lap than be the center of attention, quietly showing off her adorable personality. She’s soft, gentle, and certainly not lacking in opinions—her top priorities include snuggles and food, preferably in that order. Anyone who eats in her vicinity should be ready for her sudden transformation from sleepy pup to attentive companion, always on the lookout for a tasty treat. As Olive learns the ropes of puppyhood, she demonstrates a strong potential for bonding deeply with her humans, seeking love and closeness. She would thrive best in a home with other dogs, making a canine companion essential for her growth and happiness. Olive’s nurturing personality and puppy charm make her an irresistible addition to any family. Ready to fall in love? Hit apply and let’s get started.
