Olivia's Story

Meet Olivia! Olivia is a playful, energetic girl with a huge love for toys and outdoor adventures. She's happiest when she has something fun to do, whether that's chasing after a ball, carrying toys around proudly, or bouncing around with her goofy personality on full display. Smart and full of life, Olivia thrives when she has both physical activity and engaging interaction with her people.<br/><br/>This active girl already knows cues like sit and is continuing to work on impulse control around toys and excitement. Olivia absolutely loves interactive games and can get excited during playtime. She's very toy motivated and will sometimes race toward you in anticipation of the next throw, occasionally getting a little ahead of herself in her excitement. She does best during fetch when another toy is used to smoothly trade and redirect her attention between throws. Tug, fetch, and chasing toys are some of her favorite things, and she loves people who are excited to play right alongside her. Once she's had a chance to burn some energy, her sweeter side really comes through, and she enjoys attention and spending time with people she trusts.<br/><br/>Olivia is looking for an experienced home that understands enthusiastic, high-energy dogs. She can get excited at the start of walks and may grab at the leash indoors while gearing up to head outside, though this behavior has improved a lot with familiar handlers and routine. Out on walks, Olivia is curious, alert, and wants to investigate everything around her, so she'll need someone who can confidently handle her strength and excitement.<br/><br/>Because Olivia is athletic and able to jump surprisingly high, she'll need careful supervision outdoors and a secure setup for exercise and play. She can also be cautious around unfamiliar people during walks and may need time to feel comfortable in new situations. With consistency, structure, and plenty of outlets for her playful energy, Olivia has the potential to be an incredibly fun, loyal, and rewarding companion.<br/><br/>Olivia at a Glance<br/><br/><br/> Age: 2.5 years old<br/> Personality: Energetic, playful, smart, goofy, affectionate<br/> Training: Knows sit and is working on impulse control around toys and excitement<br/> Favorite Activities: Fetch, tug, carrying toys, trail walks, playtime, and outdoor adventures

SPCA of Southwest Michigan's Adoption Policy
We have same day adoptions! You are welcome to visit our shelter anytime during our open hours. When you visit, you can either look through the kennel first or go into a meet and greet room with an available animal of interest. In the meet and greet room, we will let you spend time with the animal and read off their file. If you have a dog at home, you can bring them along with you to do a dog-to-dog meet and greet. The main question we ask is if you own or rent your home. If you rent we check your pet policy. Bring your pet policy with you; as that is the quickest way for us to check. Once that clears, all you would need to do is fill out an adoption contract and pay their adoption fee. They would go home with you after that! If you are adopting a cat, you are welcome to bring your own carrier with you. We do have carriers to borrow or cardboard boxes to send home with you if you do not have one. If you are adopting a dog, you are welcome to bring your own leash and collar. We do have leashes and collars to send home with you as well. Holds We offer holds over the phone and in-person. The hold fee is $50 and is non-refundable. Holds over the phone are for 24 hours and holds in-person are for 48 hours.
