Olive is the sweetest, most charming girl you will have the pleasure to meet. Even though she had a bit of a rough start, she did a great job raising her one pup, Blossom, and it is now her turn to find her fur-ever home.
Olive is a sweet old girl who just wants to be your best friend and companion. She loves to potter around the house, exploring and generally being around her humans. She loves being outside, relaxing in a shady spot just watching the world go by. She loves tummy tickles and cuddles, but is happily independent.
She enjoys adventures and loves walks on her lead. Once she has had a walk, a sniff and some quality time with her family, she loves the safety and comfort of her crate. She will happily go in by herself when she needs to rest and relax and sleeps all night in there with no problems at all. She’s also happy to be left at home in her crate for a few hours whilst the family goes out and can’t take the doggos.
She has excellent manners with humans. In 8 weeks she’s never barked or jumped on anyone. She’s lovely with our 3yo and 6yo and gets on well with our large breed dog.
Olive is doing well with training and she is eager to please. She also loves treats! She is learning to sit on command and is consistent with “wait”, "come" and responds to a whistle. We have been working on threshold training as well and she responds well to that.
Olive can be timid at first and would be well suited to a patient owner who is experienced with dogs. She took some time to come out of her shell with us, but once she realises she is safe and loved, she will give you so much love in return!
While Olive is now good friends with our large breed dog, she took some time to properly introduce, and can be nervous around strange dogs. She would be well suited to either an only dog household, or a household with a non-boisterous fur sibling, and an owner who can patiently introduce the dogs. She also has some resource guarding tendencies, but that is improving with practice and patience.

* Your home must have secure fencing.
* All dogs & cats in the home must be desexed and fully vaccinated.

~ ADOPTION PROCESS ~
1. Please take the time to read the dog's detailed profile thoroughly.
2. An Adoption application MUST be filled out prior to the meet and greet with the animal.
3. If successful, our adoptions co-ordinator will be in touch within 24-48 hours, if you have not received a response in this time, please check your junk folder.
4. The foster carer will then call you within 24-48 hours to set up a meet & greet, this is also the perfect time to ask any detailed information about the dog and if they are going to be a good match for you and your family.
5. The ‘Meet & Greet' - you travel to where the dog is. All potential adopters are given 5 DAYS to meet the dog. If the adopter has not met the dog in this period, then we will assume you are no longer interested. If you have a current dog and the dog you are enquiring about is over 4 months of age they must meet to ensure compatibility. Your pet must be fully vaccinated to be able to meet with our dogs in care. We strongly recommend all members of the family attend.
6. The dog MUST not be taken on the day unless PRIOR ARRANGEMENTS have been made e.g. travelling more than 5 hrs round trip. In this case we need a minimum of 3 days notice. The adoption agreement and payment must be made before collection of the dog.
7. The adopter has 24 hours to email admin@luckypaws.com.au to advise if they wish to proceed with the adoption or not. We rely on our foster carers for feedback on how the meet & greet went so each carer will advise us after the meet & greet.
8. Once you email our Adoptions Co-ordinator, we will then email you the adoption paperwork to finalise, this needs to be completed within 3 days depending if the dog is a puppy or adult. PLEASE CHECK YOUR JUNK FOLDER. The dog can only be officially adopted and taken home once the paperwork and adoption fee has been received, we will notify the foster carer and adopter when the dog is ready to go to their new home. The adopter has 4 days to collect the dog after the payment has been received.
9. A 10-day trial period commences once the animal has been collected from the foster carer. During the trial period, should the dog become ill, you must notify Lucky Paws via email at admin@luckypaws.com.au immediately. If the dog requires a vet visit Lucky Paws will ONLY cover vet treatment which has been authorised by a Lucky Paws admin at our partnered vet clinics. We will NOT reimburse you if you choose to go to your own vet or haven’t got approval.
10. The Adoption is finalised after 14 - 28 days and paperwork is sent via email after this period. Please note this can take up to 4 weeks pending on the microchip paperwork. If you need vaccination certificates for puppy school in the meantime, please email us.
Sorry we can’t take calls, as our rescue is run entirely by volunteers, but we endeavour to respond to your email within 24 - 48 hours. Your patience is greatly appreciated.
This pet has been adopted and found love with its new family.
