My story

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

Important Facts About Olivia Twist
Dogs: Yes, Olivia Twist has lots of dog friends!
Cats: Unknown
Kids: Olivia would be most comfortable living with high school aged children.
House-trained: Yes
Other:

Olivia Twist is ready for more! This sweet and social lady is looking for a family who will offer her the love, patience, and stability she deserves. Though she came to us a bit nervous, she’s made huge strides in building confidence and trust with humans. Olivia Twist is a gentle soul who enjoys being around people and loves the opportunity to come to you—especially if treats are involved! She’s still working on getting comfortable with busy streets and moving cars, so she’d do best in a calm, quiet neighborhood where she can feel safe.

When she`s comfortable, Olivia Twist is a total sweetheart—affectionate, playful, and full of joy! Whether she’s lounging in the sun or running around, she loves spending time outdoors, soaking up attention from her people and having fun.

As a dog with a bit of a sensitive side, Olivia Twist would thrive in a home with older children who understand her personal space and allow her to come to them on her own terms. She is a great playmate for other dogs, too! Her flexible play style means she’ll happily follow the lead of a confident dog in the home, but she’ll still need plenty of independent enrichment and attention to ensure she’s getting her energy out in a healthy way.

Could you offer Olivia Twist the quiet, secure home she’s been waiting for? She’s ready to find a family that will give her the space, love, and positive experiences to continue blossoming. Come meet her and see if you`re the perfect match!
