Olivia is a beautiful female Shepherd estimated around 4 years of age who was found as a stray in very poor condition. Olivia had mange, fly bitten ears, and was very underweight when she was picked up by animal control but is well on her way to recovered and ready for a home of her own. Olivia is a strong willed ambassador of German Shepherd breed traits and has a very fun personality if you’re familiar with the breed. Olivia gets along well with most people she meets although she isn’t an overly affectionate girl off the bat. She wants to bond but is still figuring out all the transitions in her world. Olivia is a moderately energetic girl which is to say that she definitely needs exercise but isn’t on the go all the time. She understands the value of a quiet evening but definitely wakes up ready to go each morning. She does well for bathing and the blow dryer as she was getting groomed regularly to help her skin recover. Olivia has spent time with an 8 year old kiddo and always done really well. She has met kids when at pet stores and been friendly but does not currently live with young children. Olivia does foster with other German Shepherds and is learning how to be good sharing space with other dogs. She was very defensive and had obviously had to fight for her survival for a while. She does well with the other large dogs that ignore her and is able to go on group walks with no issues. She is not good with smaller dogs and we would not recommend her for a home with cats. Olivia is a diamond in the rough who has clearly been let down by humans in the past. Despite this Olivia has an open heart and is seeking a family that can guide her through becoming a loved family member.
