My story

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

Sweet Olive was first spotted very pregnant and wandering the streets of Texas.  The people who reported seeing her said she looked like she was going to give birth any day.  One of our rescue partners went out to find her and when she brought her home, Olive gave birth that same day to 13 stillbirth puppies.  When she was taken to the vet she was found to not only be malnourished, but she also had a tick-borne disease and an infection.  Poor girl, it's no wonder her puppies didn't survive.

But Olive's story has a happy twist - she is now completely recovered from both the infection and the tick-borne disease, and she is has gained weight so she is a happy, healthy pup these days.  Now Olive just needs to find her forever home which will complete her happy ending.  She is a very sweet and resilient girl who loves kids and gets along great with other dogs.  Please be the one to apply to give this sweet girl her well deserved dream home and family.

  • Personality: friendly, resilient, happy
  • Good with: people of all ages (including kids), and dogs.  Has not been cat tested yet.
  • Training: unknown
  • Estimated age: 2-3 years
  • Weight: approx. 50 pounds
  • Medical: vetted, up to date on vaccinations, microchipped
  • Location: Currently located with a foster in Texas, but if adopted, will come to the NJ area on our next transport.

More about this rescue

Friends for Life Animal Rescue is a non-profit, 501(c)3, volunteer-run, foster-based Rescue (no facility).

Our focus is to save the lives of dogs and puppies in high-kill shelters in the south and local owner surrenders.

Our mission is to place unwanted and in-danger animals in homes, regardless of age or breed. To educate the public and help stop animal cruelty and neglect.

We don't discriminate against potential adopters on any basis or for any reason. We approve potential adopters if they are and the animal they applied for is a good fit.

*If a dog is listed on Adopt a Pet, they are still available, and we accept applications. We approve applications on the best fit for both dog and family.
*We take our best guess on breed and size when fully grown.
* Our dogs are adopted from their foster home or straight from transport from kill shelters in the south.
*We always need foster homes so we can continue to save dogs. Don't hesitate to contact us if you are interested in fostering. Or fill out the foster application using this link - https://form.jotform.com/210257395409155
