In the shelter’s words

Meet OliviaA real life Energizer Bunny!*Olivia is a 3-year-old, 50-lb mystery mix. Shes got the goofy grin of apittie and the voice of a beagle, but your guess is as good as ours! Whatwe do know is that her personality is bigger than her spotted-tongue-filledsmile. She's never met a stranger, has never once thought 'I don't likethat,' and greets life at full volume.Olivia is ALL enthusiasm. She wants to play, she wants to run, andsometimes her big excited energy is a bit much for dogs who'd rather nap.She's learned to give her elderly foster housemates space proof she canread the room when it counts but her excitement sometimes wins anyway. Ifanother dog snaps at her, she can get a little dramatic (head up, somenoisy snarling), but she's never bitten. Her foster mom is actively workingon 'leave it to refocus her attention, and she's attended adoption eventsand lived alongside multiple dogs without issue.What she needs: A person who wants a real workout buddy someone ready torun, hike, or seriously exercise her body AND her brain. She's got theattention span of a firework and thrives with structure, activity, and ajob to do. She knows several tricks and commands. Small, well-matchedplaygroups bring out her best goofy self.The fine print, because we love her too much to fib: - Big prey drive chases anything that moves, so cats, birds, and livestock are a hard pass (lazy cows might be the one exception). - She's not a jumper, but she IS an opportunist a cracked door, loose gate, or open window is an invitation. Secure yard and careful humans required. - Independent streak she genuinely plays fetch with herself, tossing toys in the air solo. - Crate trained, house trained, and a great road trip companion.Olivia is silly, snuggly, and endlessly entertaining the daycare staffadore her and think she's hilarious. She just needs someone who wants anactive, funny, all-in dog and is willing to help her burn off that energy.Could that be you? Since she's currently in foster care, so please emailawdfoster@cabq.gov to schedule a meet-and-greet. Her ID# is 1898562.
