Hollywood (Holly)
Meet Hollywood (has been called Holly for short). This sweet girl is the perfect medium size dog believed to be a Border Collie / Heeler mix. She is just as smart as you think these breeds are and comes with the loyalty as well. She has many fun quirks including stomping her back feet if you scratch the right spot on her butt, LOVES belly rubs, and cuddling up close to you.
Holly has been around cats and shown to be interested in saying hi and absolutely wants to be friends with them, but respects their space when the cats say to back off and walks away calmly. Holly has met small dogs including some with attitude and some calm and she continues to be calm and loves them. Holly shows interest in larger dogs, but with the right slow introductions, I believe would do well.
Holly appears to be mostly house trained and has not had any accidents in her foster home, but with her age, being consistent with outside breaks is important to make sure she stays on this trend. She will need someone who can stay consistent with her training.
Holly is a little unsure of new surroundings, but is both food and reassurance motivated, which makes for very easy training. She loves to be reassured with verbal queues while experiencing new things, but it’s important not to give to much physical attention and not to let her hide behind you during these so she understand she’s safe but not ‘protected’. This will help Holly build her confidence as well as her bond and trust in her new family!
Although Holly needs help growing her confidence, she is smart, loyal, cuddly and has medium energy level. She will make the perfect dog if you like long walks, runs, and/or hiking. She shows interest in kids but due to still building her confidence, older children who understand how to respect a dogs space or adults only home would be preferred. Cats and small dogs are okay, and large breed dogs would have to have slow introductions to see if they are a match.
Holly is truly a perfect medium sized girl with such a sweet temperament.
