Story
THIS DOG IS NOT A LUCKY DOG. THIS DOG IS A COURTESY POST FOR COLLIE RESCUE. Please contact info@savecollies.org if you are interested! Name: Holly Best Guess for Breed: Pointer / Hound Mix Best Guess for Age: 3-5 years SEX: female Currently Living at: Foster About Holly: Welcome, Holly! She may not be a collie, but our rescue came across her at a shelter in southwestern Virginia and we couldn't leave her behind. She is a very sweet, gentle girl who likes to be low-key and low-maintenance. In fact, we have yet to hear her bark or bay. We think she is 3 to 5 years old and we believe she is a pointer and hound mix - with a lot more pointer in her. We have seen her go into a classic pointer position upon seeing deer, bunnies, and birds, and hearing the neighborhood owl. Holly is currently living with a foster family, who says that she enjoys snoozing, exploring the yard and neighborhood, and getting her big floppy ears rubbed. She loves going on walks, with her tail is in constant motion as her nose sweeps back and forth as she gets to know the lay of the land. We are teaching her how to walk on a leash without having to sniff everything in her sight. She does really well meeting new people and other dogs, and doesn't get overly excited or wound up. We think she would do best in a home where she is not left alone for long periods of time, as she needs to pee every few hours and likes to get out and explore. She doesn't know formal commands yet, but she will come when called with a whistle. One of our first priorities is to help Holly gain about 10 pounds, as she’s underweight. Luckily, she has a hearty appetite! She is housebroken and crate-trained. In between walks, she is content snoozing in her crate or in sunny spots in the backyard. Holly is a really sweet girl, and we hope we can find her a happy home. TO ADOPT FROM COLLIE RESCUE: If you are interested in rescuing a collie, please complete this short adoption questionnaire.
