About Olive

Olive is a tiny, almost 8-week-old Chihuahua mix puppy who currently weighs just 2 pounds. We expect she'll be a small adult, likely around 8 to 10 pounds when fully grown, though that's just our best estimate. Her mom appears to be a Chihuahua and Italian Greyhound mix, and we suspect the pups could have some Pug in them too. Olive's story began in rural New Mexico, where her mom was surrendered with her litter of six puppies. We were able to step in and bring this little family to safety, and now Olive is ready to go home with her forever family! Olive is looking for a family ready for all the fun, laughter, training, and occasional chaos that comes with a young puppy. Puppies require patience, consistency, socialization, training, and lots of love as they learn about the world around them. In return, you'll get the incredible experience of watching a tiny puppy grow into your best friend.

Ideal Home

We feel that Olive would do great in a home with someone who works from home and has the time and energy to train a young puppy. We would feel comfortable with her going to a family with kids 6+ years of age.

Ongoing Health

Olive will only have her first puppy shot at the time of adoption. It is very important that her adopter get her the 2nd and 3rd shots when they are due. Olive cannot go out on public ground until she has her last two booster shots. Olive is too young to be spayed at this time, but we will cover the full cost of her spay when she is 6-8 months old. Spay is required to finalize any adoption and must be done before or by the time she turns 1 year old.

Training & Support

Since Olive is just a puppy, she's a blank slate just waiting for a kind and patient human to show her the way. We are not willing to adopt to someone who is unable to commit to taking Olive to puppy socialization classes and training.
