About this Dog
OLIVE OIL NEEDS A FOSTER OR FOREVER HOME!!!! Come meet Olive Oil and other great adoptable dogs this Sunday (08/03) from 12-3 pm at the PetSmart in Alexandria (3351 Richmond Highway, Alexandria, VA 22305)! Name: Olive Oil Best Guess for Breed: Terrier mix Best Guess for Age: 5.5 years as of July 2025 Gender: Female Approximate Weight: 26 lbs Gets Along With: Other dogs! We haven't seen her with cats but ate happy to discuss integration techniques with potential adopters. We do not recommend her for a home with children under the age of 12. Currently Living At: DC area foster home Olive Oil is Looking For: This small sweetie landed in the shelter through no fault of her own. She's well out of the puppy yips and knows what the most important thing in life is - being safe and loved and under her own roof. Having her own home, her own humans is tops on her list. And sniffy walks and world exploration and a cushy dog bed and quality kibble - all those are also on the list. What do you say? Does Olive Oil get her fresh start with you? Are you her happily ever after? What My Foster Says About Me: Olive Oil (responds to Olive) is a sweet, fun girl. She's out of her crazy puppy years, but she still has some wonderful energy! She loves long walks and runs, and wants to greet every dog she passes. Olive has a gentle play style and loves to fetch with tennis balls and play with hard chew toys. She's happy to be your little spoon, your pillow, or even your scarf when cuddling in bed. She loves to give kisses, and will quickly fall asleep near her people. She's also an excellent houseguest - done great with housetraining, sleeps through the night, doesn't mind the shower or bath, perfect copilot in the car, and isn't afraid of thunder or fireworks. She knows which toys are hers and which household items and kids' toys are off-limits. The only thing she wants to steal is your heart and some kisses. Olive just doesn't appreciate attention from toddlers, particularly when they try to play with her when she is busy playing with her own toys. She would be an amazing dog for a family with older children or all adults. She's ready to share her love and have some fun with you! Medical: Olive Oil was heartworm positive, but this Lucky Dog got extra lucky! This pup is part of a groundbreaking study we are conducting at our South Carolina Rescue Campus that has the potential to change the way shelters across the United States treat heartworm positive dogs. All dogs in the study are placed at random in either the 2 shot or 3 shot protocol with strictly monitored protocols in place. Four weeks following their final injection, the pups are eligible to transport to the DC area for placement in foster or adoptive care. After treatment concludes, we work with adopters to arrange a free follow up heartworm test after 6 months, followed by a second test at 9 months. Olive Oil has completed the treatment and activity restriction phase, and is awaiting her six month follow-up test. Lucky Dog cannot guarantee any dog is housebroken. All of our dogs are working on their crate training. TO ADOPT: The adoption fee for this dog is $475, which includes the cost of routine vetting, including vaccinations, spay/neuter, and heartworm treatment. If you are interested in adopting, please complete the Adoption Questionnaire online at bit.ly/adoptaluckydog Lucky Dog Animal Rescue does our best to provide accurate information about the dogs we have for adoption. That said, we cannot make any guarantees about age, breed or temperament. Thank you for contacting Lucky Dog Animal Rescue and helping to save a life!

Contribute to Olive Oil's Stash!
100% of Olive Oil's balance will be sent to whoever adopts Olive Oil.
Adopt Olive Oil and Receive Olive Oil's Fund
Adopting a pet can be expensive, and we're trying to help by fundraising for each individual in need of adoption. After verifying the adoption, Olive Oil's new family will receive the funds that their pet has raised.
$0.0 is Olive Oil's current balance
The adopting family is the only party eligible to receive the contribution. If you adopted the Olive Oil, thank you for providing a home and a loving family!
Please begin the process of claiming Olive Oil's contribution here.
For adoptions in which nokillnetwork.org was the matchmaker and we have contact information for both parties, we make every effort to contact the adopting family. For adoptions that were not facilitated by nokillnetwork.org, we still encourage the adopting family to claim the contribution by submitting the necessary information.
The adopting family is the only party eligible to receive the contribution. The adopting family will be required to provide proof of adoption between 4-6 weeks after adoption. This is to ensure that the home is a good match and Olive Oil was not returned. After we have verified the adoption, Olive Oil’s balance will be sent to the adopting family. Our staff provides instructions and help throughout this process.
We want the Olive Oil’s balance to go to the adopting family as a way to say thank you for providing a loving home and to help with pet care expenses. In the unfortunate event we cannot contact them and verify the adoption, Olive Oil’s balance will remain in our general fund. This fund may be used to match contributions made to other adoptable pets, incentify other adoption-related actions, promote our mission, or support the operating expenses of nokillnetwork.org. If you would like to make a direct contribution to nokillnetwork.org to help us help other pets in need, you can go here. We appreciate your generosity and help!
