About Holly is a great

Holly is a delightful 6-month-old Carolina Dog mix, currently weighing 21 pounds. She's a bundle of joy and energy, always eager to engage in playtime or simply relax by your feet. Crate trained and leash trained, she fits seamlessly into any family environment. Holly has been raised alongside over 15 other dogs and a kitten, proving to be friendly and adaptable. She thrives on companionship and enjoys being involved in daily activities. Found abandoned with her brother Howie, Holly overcame a battle with parvo and has since developed into a happy, healthy pup. Her playful spirit is perfectly balanced with a calm demeanor, making her a great companion for either active play or quiet moments. With her short coat in a lovely apricot/beige color, she’s as charming to look at as she is to be around. Holly would thrive in a home with another dog, though she's perfectly content as an only pet, provided she receives plenty of attention and exercise. This smart and affectionate girl is ready to bring joy to her new family. What are you waiting for? Apply today!
