My personality

My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

The holidays have come and gone and sweet miss Holly Berry’s wish to find a forever home hasn’t come true yet. And we really are uncertain as to why. She’s a wonderful pup who craves being close to humans and she is super eager to please. She adores being pet and will happily drop into your lap for belly rubs and snuggles. She loves to play fetch and is guaranteed to make you laugh with her silly antics. She’s always ready for an adventure and would make the perfect walking or hiking companion. As an added bonus, she’s a social butterfly and loves every person that she meets, so she’s sure to make some new friends on your journeys together!

Holly does need a home with a high, non-chainlink fence as she can climb. She would also do best as an only dog. She does get along with other dogs that she meets, but would prefer to be the apple of your eye as an only dog in your household.

Her background story is one of survival. She was moments away from being put down in a shelter in Texas. Saved just in time, she moved from a cramped shelter to a spacious outdoor pen—one that was meant to be temporary. But that temporary space has stretched on, and Holly is still waiting for the one thing she craves most: a real home. Holly is estimated to be about 2 years old and weighs 54 pounds. She is fully vaccinated and spayed. She is currently if Texas but will be transported to NJ once adopted.

  • Personality: loves people, eager to please, affectionate, loves to play, social butterfly, is a climber so needs high fence
  • Good with: people of all ages (including kids).  Gets along with other dogs but will do best as only dog in household.  Has not been cat tested yet.
  • Training: crate trained, leash trained, knows some basic commands
  • Estimated date of birth: June 2023
  • Weight: 54 pounds
  • Medical: vetted, up to date on vaccinations, spayed, microchipped
  • Location: Currently located with a foster in Texas, but if adopted, will come to the NJ area on our next transport.

More about this rescue

Friends for Life Animal Rescue is a non-profit, 501(c)3, volunteer-run, foster-based Rescue (no facility).

Our focus is to save the lives of dogs and puppies in high-kill shelters in the south and local owner surrenders.

Our mission is to place unwanted and in-danger animals in homes, regardless of age or breed. To educate the public and help stop animal cruelty and neglect.

We don't discriminate against potential adopters on any basis or for any reason. We approve potential adopters if they are and the animal they applied for is a good fit.

Extra Info.-
*If a dog is listed on Adopt a Pet, they are still available, and we accept applications. We approve applications on the best fit for both dog and family.
*We take our best guess on breed and size when fully grown.
* Our dogs are adopted from their foster home or straight from transport from kill shelters in the south.
*We always need foster homes so we can continue to save dogs. Don't hesitate to contact us if you are interested in fostering. Or fill out the foster application using this link - https://form.jotform.com/210257395409155
