About Olive

Olive, known as Miss Olive in her circles, has a heart full of love just waiting to bloom. After being surrendered by her owners who found her too shy, she’s been working hard to build her confidence. Initially a little reserved, with some gentle affection, she quickly transforms into a cuddly companion who adores lazing in your lap. Her playful side shines through as she shares toys and greets you with delighted snorts of excitement! She's made a great friend in her current foster's Belgian Malinois, displaying a friendly rapport with dogs of all sizes. While Olive is still finding her place in the world, she brings sweetness and warmth wherever she goes. Just keep in mind she would prefer a home without young children, as an adult-only environment suits her best. With her irresistibly wagging tail and bright smile, Olive is ready to find her forever home.
