HOLLY - CHIHUAHUA (MEDIUM COAT) DOG FOR ADOPTION

Description

Dog Breed: Chihuahua (medium coat). Holly is awesome at setting boundaries and communicating her preferences! Holly will need someone who will respect her boundaries so that she is set up for success from the moment she heads home from TJO. Holly takes time to warm up to people - applications will not be accepted until after a potential adopter has completed their SECOND visit with her. OTHER PETS: Holly is social with other dogs, most comfortable with low energy dogs, but could be be friends with a higher energy dog who is able to respect her boundaries and preferences. Any dog Holly would be living with should meet her prior to adoption. [Likely - LOW ENERGY (Must Meet First)] OWNER EXPERIENCE: Someone who is familar with dog body language & communication styles and positive reinforcement would be best suited to support Holly. [Some Experience] KIDS: Holly exhibited resource guarding over bones while at the shelter, takes time to warm up to people, and as all dogs, hopes her warnings to both dogs and humans be followed. She will not hesitate to make her feelings clear when her signals and body language are ignored. Holly's best fit would be in a dog savvy home with adults (or older teens) who give her the space to figure out how she wants to fit into their lives. [15+ (Must Meet First)] ACTIVITY LEVEL: Holly is social with other dogs and enjoys getting her steps in. She is more playful with humans she has become familiar with vs dog toys, and a combination of regular exercise and plenty of mental enrichment will help meet her needs. [Good Walking Buddy] VETERINARY CARE: [Routine] LEVEL OF TRAINING NEEDED: Positive reinforcement training will help Holly bond with her new owner as well as help her learn important life skills and possibly some new tricks.
