About Holly

Meet Holly! This six-year-old Australian Shepherd is ready to find her forever home. Holly is spayed, fully vaccinated, and health-conscious, so she’s on Heartgard Plus every month. Currently in foster care in Southwest Virginia, she’s not just a pretty face; she’s smart, knows plenty of commands, and enjoys adventures—especially car rides. Holly thrives in an environment where she can exercise and play regularly. It's important to note that she may be best as the only pet, as she can be selective with other dogs. A fully fenced yard or large property for running would be ideal for her. She’s good with children, making her a great family companion. Ready to meet this amazing girl?
