Meet Holly, a 3.5 year old spayed Great Dane mix, 60lbs and vaccinated!

Holly was adopted as a puppy through Hearts for Paws but now in need of a new forever (ever) home. Her family cites resource guarding against other dogs as the reason for rehoming.

Please note, HFP contracts require future adopters work with force-free trainers should issues arise; if an adoption does not work out, HFP asks adopters to hold on to their animals until proper placement with a suitable forever home can be found.

The following notes are from her original adopters. Hearts for Paws has no doubt that Holly will make a fantastic companion to the right home!

Where did you get this dog?: Hearts for Paws Rescue

How long have you owned this dog?: 3 plus years, since she was 2-3 months old

Why is the dog being given up? She has had some issues with our other dog at times but now has bitten another dog. She drew blood on the other dog, and it is related to jealousy and/or random. We believe will need to be the only dog in her future home.

She has always been good with the kids. She loves her people and loves to be touching them. She is good left in an indoor kennel with access to the outdoor dog run and is well potty trained. She knows many commands including place, sit, down, etc. Due to the possessiveness of toys and people/ aggressiveness towards other dogs, she will need to be the only dog in the home moving forward.
