Olive - Boxer and Mixed Breed Dog for Adoption in Fall River, Massachusetts

Meet Olive!

Are you in the market for a supersized puppy girl? Look no further - you will fall in LOVE with Olive.

Olive is a little over four months old and she's already weighing in at 32lbs. She's going to be a BIG girl. Since she was found as a stray, we aren't sure exactly what breed she is - probably boxer, mastiff, etc. Just be prepared for this girl to get upwards of 65-70lbs.

If you're looking for a velcro pup that wants to live in your skin with you, Olive is your girl. Your business IS her business. She constantly wants to know what you're doing, where you're going, and how she can involve herself. Since she's a puppy, she has no idea what "personal space" is but it doesn't sound fun so she's not interested. She'll need basic training for all things puppy including mouthiness, bounciness, and house training. We're working on her leash manners but it's a little bit like trying to nail jello to a tree.

She is SO friendly and SO smart - she already knows how to sit pretty and give paw. She actively seeks out attention and affection and is always down for a snuggle, a good walk, or some play time with a tug toy or a squeaky toy.

Olive is good with other dogs but, in typical puppy fashion, has no boundaries so any other dog in the home will need to either have the patience of a saint or match her energy. She has no idea what a cat is - she will PROBABLY be too much for most cats until she learns her lesson that they have pointy bits and an attitude. Kids 8-10+ should be fine, especially if the family has large dog experience.

The boxer is a medium to large sized dog breed known for its muscular build, distinctive square head, and energetic personality. Boxers are loyal, affectionate, and good natured companions, making them an ideal family pet. They are intelligent, playful, and love to be around people, making them excellent with children. Boxers require consistent training, plenty of exercise, and socialization to thrive. With their strong work ethic and protective instincts, boxers excel in various roles, including as service dogs, therapy dogs, and in dog sports.

The mixed breed dogs, often referred to as mutts, are a diverse and unique group with a blend of different characteristics from various purebred dog breeds. These dogs come from a mixture of lineages, resulting in a wide range of sizes, coat types, and temperaments. While each mixed breed dog is distinct in its own right, they are known for their resilience, adaptability, and often have fewer health issues compared to purebred dogs due to their genetic diversity. Mixed breed dogs make wonderful companions for families looking for a loyal and one-of-a-kind pet.
