Olive

Meet Olive!! It never ceases to amaze us how some of the most amazing dogs end up on the euthanasia list for just being scared in a very over whelming environment. Our sweet Olive was picked up as a stray, she was clearly a breeding machine, her family never came looking for her. As a black lab mix, scared, hiding in the back of her kennel she had no hope...until we saw her. Olive was clearly loved at some point in her 3 years. She knows, sit, shake, down and is a lady on the leash. Someone cared, just not enough to make sure she didn't die at the shelter. Olive is capturing everyone's heart who meets her, she is that special. FAST FORWARD:I wanted to share my happy ending update with you about my beautiful Foster Fail, Olive!! My previous foster had just been adopted, and I decided on July 3 of last year that it would be a good idea to take in another foster to free up a spot for Labs and Friends because of the huge influx of dogs at the shelters following Fourth of July festivities...I had seen Olive on the facebook page looking for a foster/forever home, so I contacted one of the amazing volunteers that I had worked with previously and went to pick up Olive that afternoon. After several weeks it was obvious that Olive fit in with the pack too well to let her go, so I signed contracts and made ours her official forever home...Olive began attending obedience classes with my dad (who is happily retired) to keep them both busy and out of trouble last September and was a star! She began working on nose work and is now ready to take the test to get her certification!! Olive loves her family, and we love her!!!!!
