HELLO FOLKS! My name is Holly, and I am a very sweet, 5 and ½ year old female German
Shepherd mix. I generally like people and I do well with other dogs, but it’s best if I’m supervised
when I am around them. You see, I do what the hoomans here at Golden Paw Rescue call resource
guarding. I don’t know when or why I started doing that, and neither do they. They tell me that
sometime in my life, I may not have felt safe and secure, so I got worried about my possessions. I may growl or bark or even snap when someone tries to take them. Since I do have this tendency, it’s best if I’m in a home with no young children or animals. I really need a home where I can have my own space to myself, for me and my possessions. I think that with my own space, where nobody else goes, and a regular feeding schedule, I will realize that I won’t be losing my stuff. Then I can relax and not worry about it so much. I am better than when I first got here. I will now trade stuff for treats or toys, if I need to. Also, the hoomans here have taught me that I must sit and wait for food or treats. I also know commands for sit, shake, down, load up, or kennel. I also walk well on a leash and have traveled in a vehicle as well, (although I may need some more practice on that one.) I am what the hoomans here call a larger sized dog person (61-100 pounds), and have had all my shots and am spayed. I’m also terribly beautiful. Just look at my picture. I look kind of like Old Yeller and I’m ready to go. So, there it is folks. I not only need a special forever home, but a very special person to take me there. Someone with the vision to see the dog I can be and the patience to get me there. Someone who has experience with dogs. The hoomans here say I am extremely smart and can learn what you want me to know. And in exchange, I can give you loyalty, gratitude and love for a lifetime. So what do you say? Fill out an application, come for a visit and you will see that I am that dog you’ve always wanted. If you’re the special person I’ve been waiting for, we really can get this done together.
Love
Holly
