OLIVES

OTHER PETS: Olives was excited to meet other dogs and was definitely interested in playing. Her level of energy may be a bit much for some dogs, though, so she would likely do best with a social dog that can match her exuberance in play. [Case-By-Case (Must Meet First)]OWNER EXPERIENCE: Olive is a dog that is rarely caught sitting still, and will do best with someone committed to meeting her needs through enrichment and positive reinforcement (or willingness to learn). [Some Experience]KIDS: Olives has a lot of energy and can be jumpy in her excitement to greet new friends. She would do best in a home with older kids that are able to understand how to interact with her and when to let her have her own space.
