My personality

My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Meet Olive!

A spirited six-year-old Cairn Terrier from Gilbert, AZ, whose personality is as vibrant as her tan coat. Olive is a medium-sized dog at thirty pounds, but don’t let her size fool you—her heart and playfulness are much bigger! Her favorite thing in the world? Squeaky toys and chasing balls! She could play fetch all day, especially if it means spending time outdoors, where she loves to roam in the yard and feel the sun on her face.

Olive is well-versed in basic obedience commands, knowing sit, down, stay, high-five, shake, and wait. She has had formal training, which makes her an attentive and smart companion, especially in a peaceful environment where she can feel comfortable and safe. However, Olive is not a fan of other animals, so she needs a home where she can be the only pet. Her ideal pet parents will have a secure, fenced yard for her to play in and will understand her need for space from other dogs and cats.

While Olive is a bit timid around new people at first, once she feels comfortable, her sweet side shines through. She’s the type of dog who will become your loyal companion, always eager to share her playful energy and love. Olive’s journey hasn’t been without its challenges. She’s experienced two bite incidents when she felt overwhelmed or startled by sudden movements or loud noises. Because of this, Olive needs a family who can provide slow introductions to new people and always respect her boundaries. Her ideal home would be calm and child-free, where she can feel safe and secure.

Health-wise, Olive is in good shape but has a liver condition that requires her to take a pill each morning and stick to a special diet. She’s up to date on all vaccinations, spayed, house-trained, and microchipped, making her ready for a new loving family who can meet her needs and offer her the calm, caring environment she thrives in.

Could your home be the perfect match for Olive? She’s ready to bring her joy and playful spirit to a new family who understands her quirks and is excited to help her continue her journey.

Their adoption process

Additional adoption info

Our ultimate goal is to unite as many animals with loving pet parents as possible, so we strive to make it easy to adopt a dog or cat you have fallen in love with. All we ask is that you fill out an adoption application so that we have all the information we need to determine that you'll be able to provide a safe and compassionate home to one of our rescued pets. Once approved, all you need to do is sign our adoption agreement form and provide an adoption donation so that we can continue to save more animals every day and unite them with families just like yours.
