Olympia

Olympia is a joyful, playful, and affectionate Newfy cross who came to us as part of a rescue from a home in heartbreaking conditions. Her elderly owner, struggling with mental health, had become overwhelmed, and while the dogs were not intentionally mistreated, they went without proper care. Now safe with us, Olympia is finally experiencing love, stability, and gentle care.

Olympia is like an overgrown puppy full of joy, always happy, and ready to play. She is sweet and gentle, taking treats carefully and showing her kind nature.

Olympia was briefly adopted, and we were told she was an absolute angel in the house. However, she found it difficult to share her food and mealtimes with the resident dog and much preferred to be the only dog in the home. For this reason, we now feel Olympia would thrive best as an only dog, where she can enjoy all the love and attention to herself.

Olympia is curious of other animals and has met cats in passing fine, but she doesn't like squirrels! She is fine with other dogs when out and about and loves to play with them.

She is now in a foster home, where she has settled in incredibly well and is now almost house-trained. Due to her size, a very secure garden with high fences is essential.

Olympia loves to go for walks and especially enjoys having a run around a secure field. She is just a joy to spend time. With her foster carers, she is affectionate and enjoys a fuss. She chooses to be close to them, seeking attention. She is very gentle and good with all people she meets; however, she does remain wary with others as she is still learning to trust. She quite enjoys going to social places, so is going to make a wonderful companion. She also loves to relax and enjoys a good snooze!

Olympia can be startled by sudden noises or movement but this is to be expected as she adapts to her new environment.

She is strikingly unique, with one eye partially blue, adding to her charm. She will need an active home where she can enjoy plenty of exercise, play, and mental stimulation. She will need an adult-only home that can offer her with the boundaries and love she deserves.

Medically, Olympia arrived underweight, with sore ears that have now been treated. Our vets have noted that her teeth are worn down, likely from chewing on bars, and she will need good nutrition and continued veterinary care to reach full health.
