Olive

Mixed Breed · Male · Adult · 8 years

10/10/22 Oscar is 8 years of age, he’s black and white, Olive is 6 years of age white and liver. Very little is known about them because they came to us through very sad circumstances and we are very thankful to the vet nurse and vet for contacting us and delivering them both safely to Clifton at Goole in East Yorkshire. Their assessment is on going but we do know that Olive has been neutered, they are both healthy and have been looked after. Oscar is more aloof at the moment and likes to do his own thing, but this could be because he’s unsure by this change and is very confused by it all. Olive enjoys the fuss and attention and seems more excepting of their change. They are both enjoying playing ball and will happily play with you for as long as they can. They will also take treats calmly, we believe that they were whistle trained but this early on they haven’t responded but that could change as they settle. They have both been clean over night and are eating well. They were pleased to see everyone this morning and even happier to go out and play ball. We will be looking ideally for a home together for Oscar and Olive because they have always been together but would consider separating them for the right homes. This quite urgent so please help us by sharing them. They will both be rehomed with our Adoption Contract and their 5 weeks from Agria insurance. If you could give this lovely pair a happy ending that would be amazing, please contact GSP Rescue UK. 💜💜 © GSP Rescue UK 2016–2026 GSP Rescue UK is a working name of German Shorthaired Pointer Trust, a Registered Charity in England & Wales No. 1172457

About Olive

What life with Olive looks like

Olive is a adult mixed breed dog waiting at GSP Rescue UK in United Kingdom.

An adult dog fits most household rhythms once the first couple of weeks of adjustment pass. Two reasonable walks a day plus play time is usually enough. Plan a "decompression fortnight" — quiet routine, no visitors, no off-leash adventures — to let them settle.

🇬🇧Adopting from United Kingdom

UK shelters work under the Pet Travel Scheme (post-Brexit, the EU pet passport is not valid; a UK Animal Health Certificate is required for travel into the EU). Most UK rescues focus on domestic placements but some work with EU partners.

Frequently asked

Adopting Olive, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Olive?
Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. GSP Rescue UK handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Olive on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Olive if I live in another country?
Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — GSP Rescue UK will tell you what they need (EU pet passport, rabies titer, transport coordination) and whether they handle transport themselves or refer you to a partner. UK adopters: post-Brexit travel into the EU requires an Animal Health Certificate. Plan for an extra €100–€350 in transport costs depending on distance.
Is Olive already vetted, vaccinated, and chipped?
Most dogs on TailHarbor leave their shelter with sterilization, current vaccinations, microchip ID, and an EU pet passport included in the adoption fee. The vet status on this page reflects what the shelter has reported — ask them directly if you need details on specific vaccines, recent bloodwork, or chronic conditions.
What happens if Olive isn't the right fit?
Every reputable rescue accepts an animal back if the adoption genuinely doesn't work — that's part of the standard contract. Talk it through with GSP Rescue UK early rather than rehoming privately; they know Olive and can place them more successfully than a second-hand listing can.
Why does the description sometimes read awkwardly?
TailHarbor translates shelter descriptions into English from the source language (the shelter's own language). Translation is imperfect — names of streets, donors, and shelter-specific terms occasionally slip through unidiomatically. For the cleanest read, click the source link to see the shelter's original page.
