My story

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

*Holly can be adopted now, but will need to wait until December 22nd to go to her new home!

Meet Holly  — born October 27, 2025, and weighing about 2 lbs 10 oz, this sweet little girl is the second smallest of her sisters but full of love and charm!

About Holly's Breed:

Our best guess is that Holly is a Shih Tzu mix. Shih Tzus are affectionate, loyal, and charming little dogs that make excellent companions. They are known for their long, flowing coats, gentle personalities, and adaptability to different living environments. Because of their small size and moderate exercise needs, Shih Tzus thrive in apartments or houses where they can enjoy short walks and plenty of indoor time. Their ideal home is one that provides consistent grooming, a calm environment, and lots of companionship, as they love being close to their humans. Shih Tzus do well with families, singles, or older adults, especially in households that appreciate their affectionate nature and don’t mind a bit of regular coat care.

Holly is a snuggle enthusiast who adores being held, cuddled, and showering her humans with kisses. She’s happiest curled up on soft, fluffy blankets alongside her siblings, soaking up all the warmth and comfort. Playtime brings out her playful side—her favorite teddy bear toy is perfect for pouncing and showing off her tiny but mighty energy.

Holly’s Highlights:

  • Tiny sweetheart , weighing just 2 lbs 10 oz

  • Loves snuggles , happiest being held and cuddled

  • Affectionate , gives kisses freely

  • Playful pup , enjoys pouncing on her teddy bear toy

  • Cozy companion , loves fluffy blankets and sister snuggles

Holly is the perfect mix of gentle affection and playful spirit, ready to bring endless cuddles and joy to her forever family.
