Olive’s Life Is Changing Forever at Flip’s Farm — Pupdate & Adoption News!
When Olive first arrived at a California shelter, her condition broke hearts. She had been found late at night, left at the shelter’s “night drop” by a couple who claimed she was a stray.
Security footage later revealed the truth: they had removed her collar before leaving her behind.Olive’s body told the rest of the story. A tattered T-shirt, held together with masking tape and a sweatshirt, was wrapped tightly around an open wound.
She was in pain, terrified, and trying to disappear. But that moment marked the beginning of a second chance that would change everything. (Watch Pupdate Video Above)
The Rescue and Surgery That Saved Her Life
After being surrendered, Olive was taken in by Rancho Coastal Humane Society, where veterinarian Dr. Maze and her team began her difficult recovery. Because large sections of skin were missing, her surgery required extraordinary care and planning.
With tens of thousands of dollars in community donations raised through Rocky Kanaka’s rescue network, Olive underwent a successful operation and began healing faster than anyone expected.
Within days, she was cleared to move to Flip’s Farm, where Rocky would continue her rehabilitation in a safe, peaceful environment.
Finding Peace at Flip’s Farm
At the farm, Olive took her first steps into a new life, still cautious but visibly relieved. “You’re safe forever and always,” Rocky told her as he lifted her from the car.
Adjusting slowly, she explored her new surroundings, learning stairs and settling into her own cozy Quonset hut space for recovery.
Over time, her puppy energy began to shine through again. Olive joined other dogs like Pumpkin and Lily for playtime and even participated in Flip’s Farm’s annual “Barksgiving” photo shoot, joyfully sampling pumpkin pie treats under the autumn sun.
Ready for Her Forever Family
Now, with her spay surgery scheduled in the coming weeks, Olive is nearly ready for adoption. Rancho Coastal Humane Society will handle her placement, ensuring she finds the perfect forever family.
Her journey from neglect and pain to comfort and joy shows what’s possible when compassion, teamwork, and community come together. Olive’s story is proof that love heals all wounds, and that second chances can change everything.
