About Olive

Olive is a young and playful medium-sized girl with a heart full of love. Though her breed often comes to mind as an ‘outside dog’, she truly thrives when she’s close to her favorite people. Olive can be a bit shy initially, which means you’ll need to be patient as she warms up. In return, she’ll bring endless joy and laughter into your life. She enjoys outdoor adventures but prefers to come inside to snuggle with her humans as well. Olive does have a strong prey drive, so a home without cats, chickens, or small animals is essential. You may also want to consider crate training to keep her curious nose from finding trouble when you're away. With the right treats and some motivation, you’ll soon discover just how smart she is! If you think Olive is as beautiful as she thinks she is, and you have the time and energy to commit to her care, she would love to join your family. Start your journey together! Apply now.
