Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Say hello to Olive, a beautiful, sweet girl who wants to please, snuggle, and be with you, but is perfectly content in her crate with some toys and a soft blanket if need be. She has the most gorgeous, luxurious, “bury your face in her fur” ever!
In just three weeks, Olive has come a long way at her foster home. She’s learned to wait and be invited inside instead of bolting through the door with joy; she’s learned to share toys with the other dogs (and play tug of war and play wrestle); and she’s learned the cat doesn’t want to be herded. She’s learning stay and sit and she’s working on down. Excellent on a leash, she’s been allowed to free roam her foster house for the past two weeks, without any problems. She’s such a GOOD GIRL!
This 42-pound Border Collie mix (possibly some German Shepherd in her) adores children, and at one point had 5 of them loving on her as she sprawled out on the floor, belly up, smiling. She’s submissive to all she meets—human, dog, or cat—but is attentive and alert and she bonds quickly. She happily curls up nearby when her foster mom is working at home and has been left outside with another dog and plenty of toys for upwards of 5 hours without any problems.
Olive would do best in a home with children or another dog, or if she gets plenty of attention when her people are home from work—or all three! Border Collies are smart and need to be engaged and challenged. Olive also needs a fenced yard to run hard in.
Olive is about 1 year old and heartworm positive, but she’s currently undergoing treatment for that through the Friends of the Animals in Baton Rouge. She asks that you don’t hold that against her because she’s oh so excellent in every other way!
