Meet Olive: A Gentle Giant in the Making
Olive is a 7 month old Saint Bernard puppy who is already tipping the scales at about 65 pounds, and she still has plenty of growing to do! True to her breed, she is soft, sensitive, and deeply devoted to her people.
Olive is extremely dog friendly and REQUIRES another PLAYFUL dog in the home. She takes great comfort in canine companionship and loves to play, follow their lead, and simply be near them. Having a confident dog friend helps her feel safe and secure.
With her humans, Olive is a total Velcro dog. She will follow you everywhere - yes, even to the bathroom - and happily curl up at your feet anytime you sit down. She has the sweetest disposition and is an absolute love bug once she feels safe.
Olive is about 90% potty trained and doing very well, though she may have a couple of accidents in a brand-new environment while she settles into a routine. She walks beautifully on a leash when she's comfortable with you and enjoys calm, predictable outings. She REQUIRES a fenced in yard.
Her biggest challenge is her nervousness with new people. Olive is not immediately social and can become overwhelmed by unfamiliar faces, especially if people approach her too quickly. When scared, she may growl to communicate discomfort. With time, patience, and respectful introductions, she does warm up and builds trust, but she needs adopters who understand shy, sensitive dogs and are willing to go at her pace.
Because of this, Olive would do best in a quiet, adult only home or a home with adult children, not because she dislikes kids, but because frequent visitors, children’s friends, or a busy household would likely cause her to shut down emotionally.
Olive also struggles with crate anxiety, so an ideal home would be with someone who is home more often than not and can avoid crating. She is extremely people oriented and thrives when she can stay close to her person.
Olive is looking for a calm, patient, dog-savvy home where she can feel safe, loved, and understood. In return, she will give unwavering loyalty, gentle affection, and the kind of quiet companionship that only a truly special dog can offer.
If you’re searching for a sensitive soul who bonds deeply and loves with her whole heart, Olive may be your perfect match
