In the shelter’s words

Holly is a sweet and independent girl searching for an experienced dog owner who will appreciate her unique personality and give her the patience she deserves. She loves belly rubs, relaxing with her favorite person, and sharing quiet moments together. While Holly enjoys affection, she also values her personal space and will thrive with someone who understands and respects her boundaries.Holly does have allergies and requires a special diet, including specific food and treats, to help keep her feeling her best.She is highly food motivated and loves puzzle toys, enrichment activities, and tasty rewards that keep her mind engaged.A calm, adult-only home without other pets would be ideal for Holly. She is uncomfortable walking on a leash and may have experienced something negative in her past, so a securely fenced yard is required where she can safely enjoy the outdoors.
