Despite her difficult start, Holly’s spirit is wonderfully bright, and she is already showing just how special she truly is.Since arriving with us, Holly has spent time in a loving foster home, where we’ve been able to learn all about her personality, her needs, and what will help her thrive in her forever home. She’s now ready to begin the next chapter of her life with a family of her own.In foster, Holly proved to be a devoted little shadow, happily following her carer from room to room with gentle curiosity. She loves being part of the action and simply enjoys knowing what her people are up to. True to her Labrador roots, Holly is very food-motivated and thoroughly enjoys her mealtimes!Holly is fully housetrained and will let you know when she needs to go outside. She has also been gradually introduced to being left alone and is currently comfortable for up to three hours.She is a friendly and affectionate girl who enjoys fuss and attention, and she handles grooming and general handling very well. Holly forms strong bonds quickly and clearly wants to please the people she cares about.Although Holly is a senior, she still has plenty of energy, strength, and enthusiasm for life. She enjoys playtime and enrichment activities like sniffy games, but she can sometimes become a little over-stimulated. When this happens, her strength can show, so her adopters will need to help her stay within her comfort levels and recognise when she’s had enough.Holly is comfortable wearing a harness and enjoys going out for walks, although these can sometimes feel overwhelming for her. During these moments, she may use her strength to pull on the lead, so she would benefit from short, calm walks in familiar areas where shefeels safe and secure. Alternatively, Holly is just as happy taking part in training games or scent work in the garden, which can provide just as much enrichment as a walk while helping her remain relaxed and comfortable.She is a real homebody and is at her most content spending time in the garden with her people, searching for hidden items or enjoying a short game of fetch or tug, before heading indoors for a well-earned snooze.She greets visitors with confidence, reflecting her friendly and sociable nature. Holly can travel in the car, although she may be a little restless during journeys for now.Holly already knows some basic commands and is eager to continue learning with her new family.Holly’s ideal home would be a calm, understanding environment where she can truly relax and feel safe. A pet-free home is essential, allowing her to enjoy the full love and attention of her owners. She would thrive with patient adopters who are willing to take the time to understand her needs and help guide her gently as she settles into home life.A safe and secure, quiet garden is also important for Holly, with solid boundaries of at least 6ft, giving her a space where she can enjoy enrichment, play, and downtime without becoming overwhelmed. If there are children in the home, they will need to be aged 12 or over and dog-savvy, able to respect Holly’s space and understand her needs.After everything she has been through, Holly truly deserves a home filled with kindness, comfort, and companionship. In return, she will offer unwavering loyalty, warmth, and a joyful presence.If you’re looking to give a deserving senior girl the loving retirement she’s been waiting for, Holly could be the perfect companion.
