Olive English Bulldog Decatur, IL

Meet this beautiful little girl, Olive. She absolutely adores being around people. She will sit in your lap and roll around. Olive loves to be pet and rubbed behind the ears. She will give you kisses while you pet her. Her soft fur feels like cashmere and her markings are adorable. What a beauty!

Olive is around 5 years old. The first part of her little life is somewhat of a mystery. She was discovered after being abandoned in a cardboard box, together with another pup. A good Samaritan brought her to the Anti Cruelty Society where volunteers contacted IEBR. Olive has now been in her temporary foster home for one week and this is where she has responded so well to love and adoration.

Olive is very mobile, she walks and runs around and loves to explore the garden rolling around in the grass and chasing leaves. Olive can climb up two steps and navigate furniture, toys or any obstacle in front of her. She will run into your arms if you call her name! She does have the tendency to have her back legs collapse when she is standing idle, hinting at some mobility functional shortfalls.

Olive loves squeaky toys. She knows how to bite them repeatedly to make the sound continue non-stop. She quickly drops one toy to run to the next. She loves to chew so when she comes for your shoes (and your feet!) you have to distract her with a toy. She drops to her blankets and bed when she is tired, napping regularly and settling well through the night.


Olive has Spina Bifida and is incontinent she does wear diapers.

Update 7/8/19
Olive is now a very happy and energetic 2y/o. She does have spina bifida and has issues with some dragging of her back right leg especially as she gets tired. She wears diapers and has quite the wardrobe of covers and outfits. She loves everyone and has no idea of personal space. She loves playing outside and snuggling on the couch. She is a toy hoarder but does it so cutely it’s impossible for anyone to get upset. Her favorite thing is to play a rousing game of “bite my nose” especially after I have been at work she gets on the couch and it’s just so much fun for her to try to give you a “kiss” right in the nose!!! She loves it and gets so excited.
She has very little maintenance. Her wrinkles are small and stay clear. Her back foot has to be protected. She only plays in the yard and on soft surfaces. She loves toys and other dogs and cats are fine.

Olive is truly a love muffin that is going to make some lucky family very happy.
