Meet Olivia, a sweet dachshund/poodle mix. She likes to cuddle and get belly rubs once she decides you're hers. She can be uneasy about new environments at first, so she needs a patient person who will let her unwind at her pace, in a quiet, welcoming home, where she will be able to relax and show her true personality which is loving and affectionate. Once Olivia is comfortable, she loves to snuggle and would be the perfect companion and lap dog. Olivia loves to play with toys and will sometimes take them to her space to keep them safe. She is good with other small dogs and cats. She has not been tested with larger dogs or small children. She listens well, she only wants to please you. She will lay on her blanket at the foot of your bed at bedtime, and as long as she can feel your leg, or hip, she settles in for the night. She is good in a crate and only howls a little because she misses you, but she has been left out of the crate for up to 3 hours with no issues. At times when she is feeling a little stressed, she will go into her crate for a while just to unwind. When meeting new people she will go into her crate, her safe space. She is good on a leash, but I recommend a harness as she is still learning, and it seems to give her guidance. She does well with potty outside and will start sniffing around or working to get your attention if she needs to go out. Her foster mom leaves a potty pad by the back door just in case, and she uses it. She does not go after things that she shouldn't like your belongings. She loves eating time, treat time, and will dance for you. Olivia is a sweet little girl once she knows you will only love her and take care of her.
