Hi! I’m Olive, a gentle and loyal girl who’s come a long way from the scared, sick dog I once was. When I arrived at the rescue, I was just 30 pounds, hairless, and so weak I could barely stand. Today, after months of care, I’m a healthy 70 pounds (and might still fill out a bit more!). Despite my past, I’ve kept my sweet and loving spirit, and now I’m searching for a home that’ll give me the love I’ve always deserved.


Why I’m the Ultimate Comeback Companion

🐾 Age: Young adult (exact age not specified)
🐶 Friendly with dogs of all sizes (my foster siblings range from 5 lbs to 110 lbs!)
🐱 Cat-friendly
🏡 House-trained (with a little management when left alone)
🚶 Great on leash and loves walks
🛋️ Calm and laid-back – no destructive habits, no interest in furniture
🦴 Protective of my meals (understandable given my past), but very smart about food routines
💖 Incredibly loyal and listens well
🛁 Ongoing skin care needs, but easily manageable


What I’m Looking For

✔️ A patient, loving home ready to continue my healing journey
✔️ Someone who can feed me separately at mealtimes
✔️ Regular potty breaks or being contained when left alone to prevent accidents
✔️ A family who values a calm, gentle companion
✔️ Someone who’ll appreciate just how far I’ve come and love me for who I am


I’ve survived so much and grown into a loyal, loving, and gentle soul who just wants a quiet life filled with love, gentle walks, and companionship. If you’re looking for a best friend who will love you with all her heart, I hope you’ll choose me.

Adopt Olive – because every rescue deserves a happy ending.
