Olive's Story

Meet Olive a 1-year-old • 17 lbs • Female • Italian Greyhound Mix<br/><br/>Olive is a sweet, silly, affectionate little girl with two speeds: FAST and snuggled under a blanket! She loves her people, cuddling, being held, nuzzling into your neck, and entertaining herself with her favorite toys. She’s also a talented little runner who loves a good lure course. Olive's Bio.docx<br/><br/>Olive is spayed, fully vaccinated, house trained, crate trained, non-destructive, and sleeps through the night. She’s smart, food motivated, knows many commands, and is a quick learner. Olive's Bio.docx<br/><br/>Olive is also a sensitive girl who needs a patient, calm home. Loud or sudden noises—including trucks, motorcycles, vacuums, and power tools—can frighten her, and she needs secure, escape-resistant equipment when walking. She may bark when frightened or when unfamiliar people first enter the home, but generally settles once she feels safe. <br/><br/>Most importantly, Olive needs to be the only dog in her home. She is highly reactive toward unfamiliar dogs and can be unpredictable even with familiar dogs. Her foster family has been working with a trainer and will provide her adopter with the training tools and techniques that have been working for her. <br/><br/>Olive would thrive with someone who understands sensitive dogs, is committed to positive reinforcement, and will continue helping her build confidence.<br/><br/>If you’re looking for a loving, funny, cuddly, delightfully quirky little companion—and you’re ready for one very special only child—Olive may be your girl. <br/><br/>Olive is being fostered in Goose Creek, SC.<br/><br/>Visit us on FB at: http://www.facebook.com/IGrescueVa.

Mid Atlantic IG Rescue's Adoption Policy
We take great care to match each adoptive family with an available dog to find their “forever home”. Please submit an application if you’d like to be placed on our list of approved adopters. Many of our available dogs never get posted to Petfinder because a preapproved adopter on our list is the perfect match for them. Preapproved adopters must be prepared to travel by car to meet their well matched dogs, as we do not prepare our dogs for air travel. All adoption fees go to the IG Rescue Fund, our 501c3 parent organization to cover the looming costs of veterinary care for all of our foster dogs. PLEASE NOTE that we do not adopt out of our Mid-Atlantic region (DE, MD, DC, WV, VA, TN, NC, SC) and we will NEVER ship a dog. Fill out Adoption Application Phone or Email conversation to determine what dogs might be a good match for your family Home visit Meet available dogs Fill out Adoption Agreement on Adoption Day!
