Story
We rescued Olive from someone who was wanting to rehome her. We knew no details other than she needed a new home. We picked her up November 29th 2022, she way born sometime in may 2022, so shes going on 4 years old. Olive a very loyal to her people, and extremely independent. She is very weary when meeting new people and also very vocal, shes an extremely smart dog but we think she has a preexisting fear and anxiety. She is extremely sweet when she knows her people, she doesn chew or tear anything up, we can just leave her out and she does well. She doesn’t go to the bathroom in the house, she will let you know when she needs to potty. We did put her through a 8 week training course that has helped a bit but shes un walkable outside when people are around and just barks a lot when outside in general. I believe its fear based as she will lunge and bark on the leash until she can’t see them anymore. It is best if you have a fenced in backyard.

Story
Meet Mae 🐾 At just over 2 years old, Mae is a sweet, easygoing Aussie/Chi mix looking for her person. She’s dog-friendly, great with kids, and loves a mix of playtime in the yard and relaxing on the couch. Mae is potty pad trained and likes her kennel, but she’ll need some consistency as she transitions to outdoor potty training. A home with a doggy door would be a big plus! She could also use a little more socialization to build her confidence. She’s gentle, loving, and happiest right by your side—just waiting for someone to give her the chance she deserves 💛
