OLIVE #3 - AUSTRALIAN SHEPHERD / MIXED DOG FOR ADOPTION

Description

Dog Breed: Australian Shepherd / Mixed. Animal Rescue of the Rockies believes every pet should find a wonderful and caring home. To ensure Olive #3 finds the best possible home, we ask you fill out our adoption application so we can learn more about you and your household. We review each application in the order submitted and will contact you within 48 hours (please check your spam folder for our emails). Olive #3| 12 weeks | Aussie Mix with a confident spark Olive is a 12-week-old Aussie mix puppy with a bold little personality and a whole lot of curiosity. At around 14 pounds, this white-and-merle girl is playful, sweet, and surprisingly fearless for her age. She loves toys, playing with her littermates and other dogs in her foster home, and happily switches between zooming around and curling up for snuggles once she’s worn herself out. Olive is resilient and adaptable—if something startles her, she recovers quickly and keeps going. Like any young puppy, Olive is just beginning her house-training journey and learning the basics of good manners. She is still getting comfortable with her crate and may whine or bark at first, especially when left alone, and she can’t hold her bladder for long yet. She has been left crated for short periods (about 3–4 hours) and is making steady progress. She’s also working on typical puppy behaviors like play biting and learning to chew on toys instead of hands, with food being a strong motivator. Olive does very well with other dogs and has had positive interactions with large dogs. She would thrive in a home with another playful pup to help burn off her energy. She’s also doing well with cats—she wants to play and may chase a bit, but is learning boundaries. She hasn’t met children yet but is social and comfortable with both men and women. Olive will do best in an active home ready to commit to training, structure, and the fun (and chaos) of puppyhood. If you and the dog are a good match then we'll connect you with our dog's foster parents to chat more in-depth. If both you and the foster agree that the dog is a good fit then a meet and greet is scheduled. We require applicants' dogs to meet ours to ensure they get along.
