Olivia

10 years old, White and Tan: Shih-Tzu. Eight years ago, Olivia went to what we all thought would be her forever home. Sadly, we were wrong. She was found wondering the streets just one block from that home. She was severely matted and had untreated dry eyes. Her skin was inflamed, and her nails were so long she had difficulty walking. What was worse, the person who promised to love and care for her was nowhere to be found. Now, this precious lady has been back with us a while, secure in the knowledge that she is once again safe. Her coat is growing in nicely, and her eyes are being treated properly. Her skin has healed. Her nails were cut. In spite of her ordeal, Olivia a relatively healthy 10-year-old. While we don’t yet know if the damage to her eyes has left her blind or just partially sighted, Olivia is clearly resilient and will adjust. She has been in foster care and learned to relax and enjoy herself. At almost 13 pounds, Olivia is spayed, microchipped, and current on her vaccines. More importantly, she’s waiting for her true happily ever after. To meet Olivia please call her foster, Carolyne, at (310) 420-0750.
