Olive

Meet Olive!

Olive is a 6-year-old, 15-pound Jack Russell Terrier mix with a sweet nature and a loving, loyal personality. She forms strong bonds with her people and is happiest when she's curled up on the couch for a cuddle or out exploring on a walk or hike. She also loves playtime with her favorite toys.

Olive is smart, well-trained, and fully house-trained. She knows several commands, including sit, down, stay, shake, and place.

Olive would thrive in a calm, adult-only home where she can enjoy a predictable routine. She can get along well with other dogs, especially in off-leash settings, but may be reactive to other dogs while on leash. Like many terrier mixes, she has herding instincts and may occasionally nip at ankles.

Olive has a minor heart murmur and a collapsing trachea, both of which have been evaluated by her veterinarian. These conditions rarely impact her quality of life.

Olive is spayed, microchipped, and up to date on vaccinations. She is ready to find a loving forever home with someone who will appreciate her affectionate nature, loyal companionship, and love of both adventure and relaxation.
