This girl is absolutely a love. I work downtown and have had the opportunity to pet her when she is being walked by the volunteers. She is so well behaved and full of love! She is even prettier in person! If we did not already have two rescue dogs in our home I would take her in a minute! Good luck Olive finding your forever home.   more ›
