Olive

Female · Puppy · 9 months

Olive is very playful and affectionate, but she would like adopters who understand when she’s had enough and don’t over handle her (e.g by picking her up all the time). To make sure she has the best chance to settle she would ideally live in a quiet area that isn’t heavily populated by dogs, with a secure garden – she is very small and can fit through small gaps. She would love to have adopters who are happy to take her to quiet places for walks so she can get the most enjoyment from them! Add Olive to your favourites if you're looking for beautiful, friendly girl who’s always happy to see you! Olive is a super cute 9 month old Miniature Pinscher Crossbreed who has had a very difficult and unsettled start to her life. Considering her past, she has done incredibly well to be as playful and friendly as she is! She very friendly with everyone she meets and loves to come say hello! She is lovely to walk on a lead, but can get nervous around other dogs and needs redirecting, which is why she can live with older kids, but need to be walked by adults.

About Olive

What life with Olive looks like

Olive is a small puppy/kitten dog waiting at Dogs Trust Leeds in Leeds.

Puppies need routine, gentle socialization, and roughly two short outings a day for the first year. The first six months are the formative window — house-training, leash work, and quiet exposure to traffic, other dogs, and unfamiliar people happen now or not at all. Expect early-morning wake-ups and a few months of chewing.

🇬🇧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. Dogs Trust Leeds 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 — Dogs Trust Leeds 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 Dogs Trust Leeds 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 (EN). 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.
