Olive is a friendly, smart and energetic 2-month-old German Shorthaired Pointer mix puppy that was raised in foster care with her mother Tippy and her six siblings. She will likely weigh 60-70 pounds as an adult. This social girl loves people and enjoys being with other dogs. (No experience with cats.) She sleeps in her crate and she knows her name and how to sit for a treat. Olive is very bright and eager to learn! She loves to play with her squeaky chipmunk, her Kong with a treat inside, rope pull toys, bubbles, ice cubes and the hose. She is a busy puppy with loads of energy!

German Shorthaired Pointers are known for being an extremely high-energy breed. A walk around the block is simply a warm-up for these dogs. They require serious daily walking, running, hiking, swimming or joining you for bike rides. They can be vocal and are not good apartment dogs. Obedience training is a must to prevent unwanted destructive behaviors. Due to their very bouncy and rowdy natures, they are not a good match for young children or older adults. These pups might be great candidates for agility training or advanced obedience training. If you are looking for a mellow couch potato, this dog is NOT for you! Olive is looking for an adopter that can spend time with her and continue her training. She is currently in foster care and meet and greets can be arranged ONLY after your online application has been approved.

Due to COVID and high demand, preference is given to residents of Monterey County and Santa Cruz County.
