🌿 Meet Olive — The 7-Pound Superstar With a Heart Bigger Than Texas! 💚✨

Move over, big dogs — Olive has entered the chat, and she’s here to prove that size is deeply overrated. At around 1–2 years old and a perfectly pocket-sized 7 pounds, this terrier mix is ready to take her rightful place as your resident tiny adventurer, blanket burrower, and professional bringer of joy.

Found on the streets of San Antonio, Olive has mastered the art of being cautiously curious — she’ll check out new things, but she’s polite about it. Think: “Oh hi, I’m interested, but also… are you going to murder me?” Once she realizes you’re safe, she’s playful, friendly, and absolutely precious.

She’ll thrive in a calm home or a small family with older children — younger kiddos move a little too unpredictably for her delicate nerves. (Relatable, honestly.)

But let’s talk about her hobbies, because Olive is basically a tiny connoisseur of the good life:

✨ Crinkle toys: 10/10, very satisfying
✨ Soft blankets: the fluffier the better
✨ Butt scratches & gentle ear rubs: yes, please, forever
✨ Being part of the pack: lap dog energy = strong
✨ Fast walks & slow jogs: her favorite cardio routine

Despite her petite frame, Olive is down for almost any adventure — neighborhood strolls, mild nature trails, camping, road trips, you name it. She’s good with cats, good with other dogs, and good at making you say “How does something this small have THIS much personality?”

She’s the perfect combination of brave and snuggly, quirky and sweet, tiny and mighty. What she lacks in size, she makes up for in heart, charm, and comedic timing.

If you’re looking for a little dog with a big spirit and an even bigger desire to be your best friend, Olive is ready to shine her way straight into your life (and probably onto your lap).
