Olivia is a spayed female black Jack Russell, beagle, lab mix, born on November 18, 2025. If you’re looking for a gentle soul with a heart of gold, look no further than Olivia.

But it’s her personality that truly shines; she is incredibly sweet, gentle, and submissive, making her a wonderful companion for a variety of households. • Social Butterfly: Olivia absolutely loves other dogs! She has a very polite playing style and is even submissive toward cats, making her an easy addition to a multi-pet home. • Eager to Please: While she is still perfecting her potty training, she is a remarkably fast learner. Because she is highly food motivated, she’ll do just about anything for a tasty treat! • Well-Mannered: Olivia is already comfortable sleeping in her own pen at night, showing great independence and calm temperament. • Family Ready: With her soft nature and playful spirit, she has all the makings of a perfect family dog. Olivia is currently looking for a patient family who can continue her training and give her all the cuddles she deserves. Could you be the one to give this sweet girl the home she’s been dreaming of?
