My story

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

Well, if you’re lookin’ for trouble, you’ve come to the wrong saloon—Doc Holliday isn’t that kind of outlaw. This little gunslinger is more of a quiet shadow than a shoot-’em-up cowboy. With the soul of an old Western gentleman and the chill of someone who’s seen too many high-noon showdowns, Doc’s the type to tip his invisible hat, sigh dramatically, and then curl up at your feet for a nap. Basically, Doc Holliday is a lover, not a fighter—a loyal little shadow with a calm spirit, a soft heart, and just enough cowboy charm to make every day feel like the quiet after a Western sunset.

If loyalty had a tiny, four-pound body and a face capable of melting steel, it’d be named Doc Holliday. Doc Holliday is a 6-week-old, 4-pound male Border Collie mix, possibly with a dash of Lab thrown in for good measure. He was born right here in rescue after his mama, Belle Starr, came to us heavily pregnant and fresh off the urgent list at the shelter. And while his name might sound like it belongs to a Wild West legend, this little guy’s weapon of choice is charm. He’s got the kind of easygoing personality that could smooth over just about any situation. If you’re lookin’ for a loyal sidekick with a soft spirit and a heart the size of Texas, Doc Holliday’s your man.

Doc Holliday’s social résumé is pretty impressive for a six-week-old outlaw. He loves dogs—big ones, small ones, ones that bark too much, and even the ones who act like they run the saloon. He’s the kind of guy who strolls into the playpen and immediately gets along with everyone, probably offering a friendly tail wag and a “no drama, please” attitude. Kids? Oh, he thinks they’re great. They drop snacks, they squeal with excitement, and they’re usually closer to his height—what’s not to love? And cats? Well, Doc’s got better things to do than chase after something that hisses like a broken tea kettle. He’d probably give it one long, unimpressed stare, shrug internally, and go find a sunny spot to nap in. Basically, Doc Holliday’s the Switzerland of puppies—peaceful, charming, and totally unbothered. He’s not out here picking sides or starting drama; he’s just here to vibe, look cute, and maybe collect a few belly rubs along the way.

Energy level: 2 out of 10 —Doc Holliday is the definition of chill. Give him a cozy blanket, a quiet corner, and maybe a human to stare at lovingly from uncomfortably close range, and he’s living his best life. He’ll follow you everywhere like a fuzzy little ghost, convinced his presence alone is the key to your success. And if you happen to talk to him? Prepare yourself for the world’s most dramatic head tilt—the kind that makes you immediately apologize for not offering him a treat first. Doc Holliday’s confidence is quiet but mighty. He doesn’t need to prove anything to anyone; he already knows he’s the best-looking pup in the room. While everyone else is out there trying to make a name for themselves, he’s just here to vibe, nap, and look good doing it.

Now, before you go ridin’ off into the sunset with visions of puppy cuddles and tiny cowboy hats dancing in your head, let’s have ourselves a quick little reality check, partner. Doc Holliday may be mellow, but he’s still a six-week-old outlaw-in-training. —and that means his bladder operates on frontier time: unpredictable. ;) And don’t think socialization means just introducing him to your neighbor’s dog and calling it a day. Nope, this tiny cowboy needs to meet the whole posse—humans, dogs, cats, and maybe even that one vacuum cleaner he’s convinced is plotting against him. You’ll want to teach him early that the world isn’t full of bandits, just loud noises and weird contraptions that don’t need barkin’ at. But if you’ve got patience and a sense of humor, you’ll make it through just fine. Because under that baby fluff is a loyal little gunslinger who’s gonna grow into the kind of dog you brag about for years. You just gotta be ready to saddle up, hang on tight, and laugh your way through the puppy rodeo—because every great cowboy starts somewhere, and Doc Holliday’s ready to write his legend right alongside you.

Now, don’t go draggin’ your boots about it—Doc’s got fans lining up faster than a Friday night at the saloon. Fill out that adoption application today at https://www.pyrpawsandfluffytailsrescue.com/adoption-app so we can pass it along to his foster family and start plannin’ his next adventure. He’ll be ready to ride out around the first weekend of November, and his pick-up point’s in Oklahoma City, OK. Just be warned—once you meet Doc Holliday, there’s no goin’ back. That fluffy little gunslinger has a way of stealin’ hearts quicker than you can say “Howdy.” 🤠💛
