HOLLY - AUSTRALIAN SHEPHERD / MIXED (MEDIUM COAT) DOG FOR ADOPTION

Description

Dog Breed: Australian Shepherd / Mixed (medium coat). Sweet, social, and oh-so cute - Holly is the complete package! Holly is estimated to be 3 years old and is a darling girl who will make you fall in love after one look into her soulful, big, brown eyes. She is the epitome of a good girl and loves to be with her people. She is a perfect mix of energy, so she is happy to hang around the house during the workday and then head out for an adventure in the afternoon. Holly is fully grown and weighs about 25lbs. Holly was found as a stray, and after a couple of weeks without finding an owner, the person who found her brought her to their local animal shelter. Unfortunately, the shelter she was brought to is overcrowded, and it wasn't long until Holly found herself on the euthanasia list. We were able to save Holly, and she has been soaking up lots of love in foster care and can't wait to find her fur-ever family! Holly is a very easy-going and lovable girl. She loves to cuddle on the couch and enjoys nothing more than getting some scratches. She is a moderate-energy girl who loves her walks and would be a great companion for someone who needs a daily reminder to get outside at least once a day. She is the perfect compact size to take anywhere, but is big enough to take on whatever adventures you want. She is eager to please and has been doing well learning her basic manners. She would benefit from some continued training to help her be the best girl she can be. Holly would make a wonderful pup for a first-time dog owner who doesn't want a puppy, but still wants a dog with the energy to do fun stuff with. Holly can be a little socially awkward with other dogs, but has done well living with other easy-going dogs. Right now, she is the only dog in her foster home, and she is more than happy to be the spoiled only pup. We haven't seen Holly around cats, but she may do well living with dog-savvy cats after a slow introduction. Holly could be a wonderful addition to a family with respectful kids. Holly has been doing very well with her house and crate training. She is content to hang out in her crate for short periods of time and overnight. Holly may do well living in an apartment with proper daily exercise. Holly is such an amazing girl, and we know a family just as great as her is out there.
