About Holly

Holly is a gentle, affectionate soul who thrives on being close to the people she loves. She finds happiness in simple pleasures—walks by your side, basking in the sun, or unwinding together after time outdoors. Holly is smart and eager to please: she already responds to commands like sit, down, stay, and wait, and she’s pretty steady on a leash. Praise and encouragement go a long way with her, and she’s always up for learning something new. Because Holly is still figuring out how to share her favorite treats, she needs to live in a home with children at least 10 years old. Holly also prefers to be the only animal in the home so she can soak up all the attention and treats for herself. She should avoid dog parks and places where dogs mingle off leash. If you’re looking for a loyal, loving companion who will be by your side every step of the way, Holly could be just the friend you need. The behavior team will provide a personalized consultation to help set her up for success. Her adoption fee is currently waived. What are you waiting for? Apply today!
