About Holt

Meet Holt! Holt’s life started out rough, but he’s catching up fast—turning every day into an adventure filled with zoomies and bubble-chasing. This young mixed-breed shepherd is part goat, part comedian, and all chaos coordinator. He can climb furniture like it's his personal Everest, collect sticks with fierce pride, and keep you laughing with his signature howl signaling crate time is over. He’s working on his snuggle game (about three seconds at a time before the zoomies hit) and is still taking inventory of which toys make the cut—but a good squeaker gets his attention fast. Food is just okay for him unless you’ve got a secret snack. Holt keeps his crate clean, is dog-friendly, and will turn any yard into his own party zone. He’s not in it for the food; he’s more motivated by making mischief and fun. His next family should have a sense of humor, a willingness to help him figure out what makes him tick, and a love for his relentless energy—and they shouldn’t expect to keep him off the couch. Holt is ready to put his outlaw past behind and find his crew to celebrate all that life can be. Ready to meet your new best friend? Apply now!
