Description:
Holly is a Shetland Sheepdog that will be three years old in April. She is a sweet little gal with a past that will require an adopter to have time and patience. Holly lived outdoors all her life until coming into rescue in late December. She has adapted well to living indoors and is fully house-trained, having never had any accidents in the house.
Holly knows basic commands and is highly motivated by tasty treats. She gets along with her foster fur siblings, but this has taken a great deal of work by the humans to slowly integrate her with other dogs. Holly is fine indoors and in the backyard but has a long way to go as she learns to trust things outside the home's front door. Holly reacts if she sees or hears other dogs outside the home. Her past lacked proper socialization, but she has come a long way and is learning to be confident.
Holly likes people; however, men with beards are a trigger for her. She loves women and her foster pa(w). Holly seeks human attention and loves to crawl into a lap for a snooze.
At night, Holly sleeps in a crate with the door open. During the day, she roams around the house or snoozes in a large pen -- her indoor condo.
She rides well in the car and loves going to the vet.
Holly has a tail that now wags and a sweet Sheltie smile on her face. She would do best in a home with no other dogs or cats, no children unless they were older, and an above-ground fence in the backyard so she can do her favorite thing, explore.
Holly's foster family adores her; she is sweet and silly. Her foster family has a village helping to improve her confidence daily.
*Note: Holly will require a physically fenced yard.
