Olivia's Story

Hi, I’m Olivia, and I’m learning how to bloom.<br/><br/>I’m a 1-year-old hound mix with soft ears, a gentle heart, and a shy soul that’s still figuring out the world. When I first meet new people, I tend to hang back a little. I watch, I listen, and I try to decide if you’re someone I can trust. It takes me a bit of time, but once I know I’m safe, I open up in the sweetest ways. If you’re patient with me, I’ll show you how softly I lean in for affection, how my tail does a little happy wiggle when I see you, and how much love I’ve been saving up just waiting for the right person.<br/><br/>I’m hoping to find a home that understands that trust is something we build together — a quiet, steady place where I can come out of my shell at my own pace. I’d really prefer to be your one and only pet, since other dogs make me a bit nervous and I shine brightest when I don’t have to compete for attention. If you have a heart big enough to love a girl who’s still learning how to be brave, I promise I’ll meet you with all the sweetness I have. Maybe you’re the person I’ve been waiting for.
