🐾 PAWS OUT THE DOORS – $90 🐾🌼 The Sweetheart Who Loves to Learn (A letter from Holly) Dear Future Human, Hi… it’s me, Holly. I’ve been told I should introduce myself properly, but I feel like you should know one important thing first… I am very good at cuddles. Like, professional level. Full-time career. Zero complaints. Now that we’ve got that out of the way, let me tell you a bit about me. I’m a sweet, affectionate girl who really loves my people. If you’re sitting down, I will find you. If you’re lying down, even better. I will gently (or not so gently) wedge myself right in and rest my head on you like I belong there, because obviously I do. I do come with one small warning though... I am a bed hog. You’ve been warned. I’m also a pretty clever cookie. I actually love learning things. My training is coming along really well, and I get super excited when I figure something out. If you enjoy teaching, we are going to be the BEST team. Bonus points if snacks are involved… because I am very food motivated. In fact, I’ve already worked out that if I sit quietly and look adorable while you eat, sometimes I get a little bite. I call this advanced strategy. I’ve recently learned to take myself outside through the doggy door to do my business (very proud of this achievement, thank you very much). I do still have the occasional "oopsie," but hey… nobody’s perfect. Now let’s talk about my personality. I’m still a bit of a puppy at heart, which means I can get a little mouthy when I play. Because of this, I’d be best suited to a home with older children who understand I’m not being naughty... just enthusiastic. Very enthusiastic. I do like to have a chat too, so yes, I can be a bit of a barker at times. And I’ll be honest, I’m not the biggest fan of being left alone for long periods. I much prefer being where my humans are. You know, supervision is important. At this stage, I’m best suited to being the only dog in the home. I can get a little too enthusiastic with my play style, and sometimes I don’t quite know when enough is enough, which can land me in a bit of trouble. I’m also best suited to a cat-free home. I find cats VERY interesting and have a strong desire to chase them, so living together wouldn’t be the best match for either of us. I’ve even started putting myself in my crate for little rests because apparently having your own room is a thing. The really exciting news is that I can now sleep in my crate overnight for around 8–10 hours. As long as I’ve had plenty of exercise, some good quality cuddle time, and a chance to wind down with my people, I settle beautifully and sleep right through. Not bad for a girl who likes to keep busy! At the end of the day, I’m just a loving, clever girl who wants a home where I can keep learning, keep growing, and most importantly keep cuddling. So if you’re looking for a best friend who will make you laugh, keep you company, and occasionally steal your side of the bed... I’m your girl 💛 Love, Holly 🐾 Holly is one of our PAWS OUT THE DOORS dogs and his adoption fee is just $90.
If Holly isn't quite the right fit, these dogs are close matches.
