About Olive

Meet Olive! Olive is a 6-month-old, 30-pound Black Lab mix with a sweet personality and plenty of puppy energy. Found as a stray, she’s transitioned from life on the streets to the comforts of foster care, embracing the joys of being a loved family dog. She's affectionate and loves people, currently working on her house training and basic manners. Olive is also learning how to navigate the world on a leash but does show some leash reactivity, so she'll need a patient family ready to help her build confidence. As an active pup, she’ll thrive with a family that enjoys staying busy and has a secure yard for her to play in. This energetic girl missed out on some key early life lessons, but with a little patience and consistency, she’s eager to learn and grow. Could Olive be the missing piece of your family? Every animal deserves a happy ending. This one starts with you.
