Hi, I’m Olive!

I’m a 3 yr-old sweetheart.  Just take a look into my golden eyes and you’ll fall in love with me!

I am enjoying the good life living in a warm home after being rescued.  I used to live in Alabama where I had a litter of puppies.  Rescuers down there found me in a ditch and my puppies in an abandoned home.  As heartbreaking as that was, I am a proud momma and so happy that me and puppies have been saved!

I am a sweet girl and so full of love!  I am fully house trained – not a single accident in my foster home!  I sleep through the night in my crate – although sometimes my foster mom has to nudge me to go in, but I just love sleeping on a comfy dog bed!  I love to be outside and learn about Minnesota. I especially find squirrels interesting, so sometimes my foster mom has to help me focus on walks.  Did I mention walks?  They’re the best!  I’m proud to say, I do pretty well walking on a leash.  I also love playing with toys and balls – I even throw the ball to myself!
I’m starting to learn my manners and basic obedience.  It’s fun getting treats and I’m quickly picking it up!  I’m generally a very calm girl and enjoy attention and snuggles with my foster mom.  I’m a little hesitant around new people but if they’re patient with me, I quickly feel comfortable.  Same with other dogs – with proper introduction I know that they are a friend.  My foster mom’s dog is my new best friend, and we love to play in the fenced yard!

My perfect family/home will have a fenced in yard as I love being outside to explore, run and play.  I’d love to be with a family that will be patient with me, train me and give me lots of love. A dog sibling would be great, but I’d be ok on my own if my new family can help me build my confidence.  I briefly met a cat and did well – with proper introductions I think I’d do ok living with a cat.  I haven’t met any kids, but if they’re nice and respectful I think we’d get along great!  I am a super sweet girl who worked hard to make sure my babies survived and thrived and now I am excited to thrive in the safety of love of your life!
