Caldwells Pet of the Week: Olivia

This female 3-year-old dachshund and rat terrier mix is affectionate and dog/cat friendly.

Olivia traveled all the way from Kentucky to find a home here in the Caldwells. 

This female 3-year-old dachshund and rat terrier mix is affectionate, dog/cat friendly and ready to be adopted now from Orphaned Pets Inc. of West Caldwell. 

Olivia was pregnant when she left Kentucky and her twin puppies have already found a home. Now she is looking for a home of her own.

Olivia has short hair, weighs about 17 pounds, is up to date with all her shots and house trained. 

However, Olivia was diagnosed with heart worms and needs to be treated. 

To adopt Olivia or any of the other dogs and cats available, call (973) 882-8363 or (973) 865-6421.

Orphaned Pets also sets up adoption clinics at local PETCOs around Essex County. To get more information or find out where Orphaned Pets will be this weekend, click here.
