OLIVE
If ever there was a dog who deserved a second chance, it's Olive. Olive is a 10-year-old Staffy who has found herself at the shelter after being picked up as a stray. Nobody even came looking for her. Based on her condition when she arrived, it's clear she has not been well cared for. Shelter vets believe her hair loss may be permanent, but Olive seems completely unbothered by it and is far too busy enjoying life to let it slow her down. Plus, she is beautiful regardless!Since arriving at the shelter, Olive has gained some healthy weight and reminded everyone that senior dogs are often the very best dogs. She has a fun, spunky personality, enjoys getting out and about, and loves to spend time with people. She is affectionate without being demanding, allows all handling, and is the kind of girl who just likes to be near you.Olive walks well on leash and has lovely manners. Kind of crazy considering she has not always been treated kindly.It will be easy for someone to see the missing fur before they see Olive. What her volunteers hope they see instead is a happy, loving girl who still has so much life left to live and so much love left to give. She deserves a home where she will never again have to wonder whether she matters. Olive is currently housed in a building that is inaccessible to the public, so please ask to meet her!Olive's adoption fee has been paid for with a donation from Anna Kay
