OLIVE OIL NEEDS A FOSTER OR FOREVER HOME!!!! Come meet Olive oil and other great adoptable dogs this Sunday (06/29) from 12-3 pm at the PetSmart in Falls Church, (6100 - A Arlington Blvd, Falls Church, VA 22044)! Name: Olive Oil Best Guess for Breed: Terrier mix Best Guess for Age: 5.5 years as of July 2025 Gender: Female Approximate Weight: 26 lbs Gets Along With: Other dogs! She should not be in a home with kids under 12. Currently Living At: DC area boarding partner - would love a foster home while looking for her forever family! Olive Oil is Looking For: This small sweetie landed in the shelter through no fault of her own. She's well out of the puppy yips and knows what the most important thing in life is - being safe and loved and under her own roof. Having her own home, her own humans is tops on her list. And sniffy walks and world exploration and a cushy dog bed and quality kibble - all those are also on the list. What do you say? Does Olive Oil get her fresh start with you? Are you her happily ever after? What My Foster Says About Me: Olive Oil (responds to Olive) is a sweet, fun girl. She's out of her crazy puppy years, but she still has some wonderful energy! She loves long walks and runs, and wants to greet every dog she passes. Olive has a gentle play style and loves to fetch with tennis balls and play with hard chew toys. She's happy to be your little spoon, your pillow, or even your scarf when cuddling in bed. She loves to give kisses, and will quickly fall asleep near her people. She's also an excellent houseguest - done great with housetraining, sleeps through the night, doesn't mind the shower or bath, perfect copilot in the car, and isn't afraid of thunder or fireworks. She knows which toys are hers and which household items and kids' toys are off-limits. The only thing she wants to steal is your heart and some kisses. Olive just doesn't appreciate attention from toddlers, particularly when they try to play with her when she is busy playing with her own toys. She would be an amazing dog for a family with older children or all adults. She's ready to share her love and have some fun with you! Medical: Olive Oil was heartworm positive, but this Lucky Dog got extra lucky! This pup is part of a groundbreaking study we are conducting at our South Carolina Rescue Campus that has the potential to change the way shelters across the United States treat heartworm positive dogs. All dogs in the study are placed at random in either the 2 shot or 3 shot protocol with strictly monitored protocols in place. Four weeks following their final injection, the pups are eligible to transport to the DC area for placement in foster or adoptive care. After treatment concludes, we work with adopters to arrange a free follow up heartworm test after 6 months, followed by a second test at 9 months. Olive Oil has completed the treatment and activity restriction phase, and is awaiting her six month follow-up test. Lucky Dog cannot guarantee any dog is housebroken. All of our dogs are working on their crate training. TO ADOPT: The adoption fee for this dog is $475, which includes the cost of routine vetting, including vaccinations, spay/neuter, and heartworm treatment.

Breed overview
Overview:
A mongrel, mutt, or mixed-breed dog, is a dog that is not the result of breeding within an existing breed or to modify or create a breed and belongs to no breed. In the United States, the term "mixed-breed" is a favored synonym over "mongrel" among many who wish to avoid negative connotations associated with the latter term. The implication that such dogs must be a mix of defined breeds may stem from an inverted understanding of the origins of dog breeds. Pure breeds have been, for the most part, artificially created from random-bred populations by human selective breeding with the purpose of enhancing desired physical, behavioral, or temperamental characteristics. Dogs that are not purebred are not necessarily a mix of such defined breeds. Therefore, among experts and fans of such dogs, "Mongrel" is still the preferred term.
