My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Olive is a beautiful 4-year old female Australian Shepherd/Collie mix who was brought to the HSOV on March 19, 2025 after she was picked up in the vicinity of Turkeyhen Road/Warren Chapel Road in the Fleming Ohio area. Olive was accompanied by a handsome male Australian Shepherd Collie mix (Ozzie) who is most likely a relative. Olive and Ozzie were escorted to our shelter by the Washington County Ohio Dog Warden early that afternoon. Neither of the dogs were wearing a collar, and they were not microchipped. They were given the names Olive and Ozzie by our shelter staff/kennel techs.

Olive has a tan-and-white medium-haired coat, a long tail, and an adorable face with dark brown eyes, a dusting of white on her long slender muzzle, and short floppy ears.

Both Olive and Ozzie appear to have friendly outgoing personalities (and 'smiled' in many of their preliminary photos on March 19th in spite of being confined in floor crates).

These updated photos of Olive were taken on March 21st when HSOV Kennel Tech Emily Beaver accompanied Olive outdoors for more flattering pictures. Olive was a happy girl who made the most of her 15-minutes of fame and took advantage of the opportunity for some playful antics with Emily. Olive "sat pretty" in several of her pictures and enjoyed some 'girl talk' with Emily (smile).

Olive weighs 77 lbs. She walked fairly well on a leash and looked to Emily for guidance.

In compliance with the Ohio Revised Code, Olive and Ozzie were held for the mandatory three-day stray holds so that their family would have an opportunity to reclaim them with proof of ownership. We were hopeful that someone would recognize them and help us reunite them with their family, but as of March 22nd nobody has called or came looking for this beautiful couple.

Please call HSOV @ (740) 373-5959 if these are your dogs or if you have any information about them.

Olive went home with a foster family on July 22, 2025 so that she can enjoy a real home environment instead of a small shelter kennel or floor crate while she awaits her forever home. Olive is still available for adoption and a meet-and-greet may be arranged with her foster family with an approved HSOV adoption application.

Update: Olive went home with another foster family on July 24, 2025 who plans to adopt her after she is spayed.

Olive was spayed on August 18, 2025 and was also given rabies vaccine. She was adopted by her foster family later that day.
