Olivia

Olivia and her brother Sesame were found together in a very remote area and were initially frightened of being approached. The pair were eventually rescued and taken to safety, thankfully escaping the harsh realities that life on the streets can entail. Olivia and her brother are now living together in a foster home in Lesvos, where they are both patiently awaiting to start a new chapter and find their happily ever after in the UK.

Olivia is a laid back girl and is always impressing her foster family with her intelligence, charm and sweet nature. She adapts well to her surroundings and happily makes friends with lots of other dogs. Olivia and her brother Sesame have made a special bond with their best friend Steven! We are sure she would be happy in a home with a doggy sibling by her side, so we will definitely be considering homes with a resident dog.

Olivia is already walking well on her harness, although she tends to prefer a gentle stroll rather than a mighty adventure – after all she only has little legs! Like her brother, one thing Olivia absolutely adores is her treats! With lots of tasty snacks in hand and along with her natural eagerness to please, teaching Olivia some doggy manners is sure to be a fun bonding task. After a fun filled day of impressing her adopters by learning lots of new tricks, there is nowhere Olivia would rather be than snuggled up on the sofa next to her humans – a scratch and stroke along her back is the way to Olivia’s heart!

Olivia is getting used to making new friends and does get along fine with children, however she can be a little unsure of loud noises and raised voices. With this in mind, we will only be considering homes with older children that are dog savvy and can appreciate Olivia’s uncertainty in this scenario. We will also only be considering homes in non-urban environments, where she doesn’t have to worry about any triggering sounds. One thing that is for certain, is the amount of love this little lady is bound to bring into her very lucky new home!

Olivia has not been tested with cats so we will be watching how her personality develops and considering homes on a case by case basis.

Please note, that due to on-going travel restrictions and transport logistics, we currently do not have a transport date in place for dogs travelling from Lesvos. As a result, it may take us longer to reply to applications, thank you for your patience, and rest assured we’ll be in touch to discuss your interest in Olive as soon as possible!
