My story

You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website. Online Adoption Application › Hi, I'm Olive and I'm a very sweet girl despite how difficult my life once was! I came to the rescue incredibly emaciated, could hardly walk on my own, and had no hair. I've come a VERYYY long way in the last 6 months! I was 30 lbs coming into rescue and am now a healthy 70 lbs and could maybe gain a little more! I am very well mannered with my 3 foster siblings (siblings range from 5 lbs - 110 lbs) and I've done well with other dogs in homes that I've vacationed at and I'm great with cats. I am very laid back as far as energy goes! My foster mom doesn't crate me and I've never chewed on anything or done anything bad. In my previous home I was unfortunately kept in a closet with pee pads and was not let outside to use the bathroom. With that being said, I am housetrained, however you have to let me out often or keep me contained in a bedroom/crate when you're gone or I may have an accident on a rug -- I don't do this at my foster home, but have had accidents in the past. I am very loyal to my people and listen well. I don't get on furniture and know how to sit, but we're working on other commands. I'm great on leash and love to go for walks.    Given my original condition, I am understandably protective of my food so my mom just feeds me separately in another room. However, I don't have any issues if my siblings are eating their own food around me (I'm smart like that) or with treats. We are also still working on skin issues, we've had a long journey and this may be something that I deal with for life, but definitely easily managed. My mom added some photos of when she first rescued me and although they're difficult to look at, it's amazing how far I've come!  ************************************************************************ The adoption fee is $400, which covers food, vetting, microchip and the spay/neuter surgery performed by a rescue-affiliated vet.  All dogs receive a wellness visit and are up to date on shots appropriate for age.  Breed and size is Pawfect Match Rescue's best guess and not guaranteed. Please go to https://www.pawfectmatch.org/animals/search? and search on the dog name to see more photos, browse the profile, and complete an application    Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.July 14, 2025, 5:05 pm

If you have any questions or would like to adopt Olive, please reach out to the adoption group directly. PetSmart Charities does not facilitate the adoption process. Thank you.
