Olive – Looking for Her Perfect Forever Home
Olive is a beautiful 16‑month‑old crossbreed. She has been neutered, is fully up to date with her vaccinations, and will come with all her belongings — her crate, blankets, toys, lead, and food.

Making the decision to rehome Olive has been the hardest choice our family has ever had to make. We adore her, and this has come with a lot of heartbreak, but we know she deserves the very best and a home that can meet her needs.

About Olive
Olive is a high‑energy, intelligent young dog who thrives with plenty of exercise and mental stimulation. With committed training and consistency, she will make a loyal, loving companion.

She absolutely loves children, but she needs a quieter home where she can properly relax. Olive had a rough start in life — she was abandoned and left to roam the streets. Because of this, she can be anxious, easily startled, and on high alert in busy or noisy environments. With reassurance, she adjusts well, but she needs a calm space to feel safe.

Why We’re Rehoming Her
Due to unforeseen circumstances, we haven’t been able to give Olive the level of exercise and outdoor time she truly needs. This has left her feeling frustrated and unable to burn off her energy in a healthy way. Combined with our busy household, young child, and other animals, Olive becomes overstimulated and struggles to settle. She can only fully relax in her crate or late at night when the house is quiet. This isn’t fair on her, and she deserves a home where she can thrive.

What Olive Loves
Olive enjoys exploring the beach and forest, especially quieter areas where she can take in the world at her own pace. She is curious, sweet‑natured, and eager to bond deeply with her person.

The Home She Needs
Olive needs a family who can fully commit to her training, help her build confidence, and give her the peaceful environment she needs to flourish. She will thrive with someone patient, gentle, and understanding of her anxious tendencies.

Please only enquire if you can offer Olive the calm, committed, forever home she deserves. We love her dearly and will only rehome her to the right person.
