About Holly

Holly is a petite, medium-sized American Staffordshire Terrier with a big personality packed into her 35–40 lb frame. Her short, medium brown coat with a white chest and striking big ears make her stand out. She adores people and bonds deeply with her humans, showing plenty of affection to those she trusts. Holly is playful and smart—she especially loves to chase around a small ball toy and needs plenty of exercise and mental challenges each day. With her high energy, she’s happiest with adults and older children; younger kids may find her activity level a bit much. She’s dog reactive, uneasy around unfamiliar dogs, and she has a strong prey drive—Holly cannot live with small animals or other pets. A securely fenced yard is essential for her safety and peace of mind for everyone. Holly’s ideal home is one with an experienced bully breed owner, without any other pets. She’s house trained, spayed, fully vetted, and up to date on vaccines. If you’re searching for a devoted, lively companion who just needs a chance, Holly will make your family feel complete. They are ready to love you; are you ready to apply?
