Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website. This is Olive's second time as a GGBR dog, through no fault of her own. The first time was in 2018, after her first owner passed away. She and her longtime companion, a senior basset named Sebastian, were subsequently adopted by their GGBR foster home. After Sebastian passed away, Olive continued to live with her adopter, until the woman's death, a few years later. At that point, Olive went to live with her adopter's sister. Recently, the health of her current owner has caused Olive to return to GGBR to find a new home. Olive is a very timid and nervous dog, who is particularly fearful of men. She is good with women, kids and dog-savvy cats. She has chronic allergies for which she has seen a dermatologist and she takes medication and eats a special diet. Olive has recently been diagnosed with a heart murmur, which requires no medication or special treatment at this time, but which should be checked periodically and should be mentioned to her veterinarian, if she ever needs to be anesthetized. Olive does not take well to being left alone and will cry and howl. Her anxiety also sometimes causes her to have accidents in the house. Olive readily uses a doggie door. She is a playful, active little gal who gets along with other dogs and enjoys her walks. It is unknown whether having a doggie companion in her next home might help with Olive's separation anxiety, because we have not seen her in the same home, both with and without another dog. Her foster home has several dogs, and Olive does well with them.At only 7 years old, poor Olive has already outlived two owners and one doggie companion! No one can blame her for being insecure! If you have an all female home with the patience to help Olive with her anxiety, are home a lot, can keep up with Olive's allergies and medications, and have a doggie door, you might have the perfect home for this lovely sweet dog. A doggie companion for Olive is not required, but it could be a plus! Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.July 1, 2024, 11:36 pm
