Holiday was brought in as a stray, and while her past is a mystery, she's a timid but sweet dog. She can be shy at first and prefers to take things at her own pace, but she allows handling, takes treats gently, and shows a quiet, friendly demeanor once comfortable.
My Ideal Home
Holiday would do best in a calm, adult-only home with a patient person who can give her time to adjust. She thrives in a low-stress environment with consistent routines and gentle guidance, and she benefits from someone willing to work slowly on confidence-building and positive reinforcement training.
Good with Kids?
No - Holiday is fearful and would be overwhelmed by children under 13. She needs a quiet home environment where she can feel safe and secure.
Good with Other Pets?
Unknown - there is no documented history with other dogs or cats, so any introductions should be done carefully and gradually.
Leash Manners
Holiday walks loosely on leash and generally ignores humans and dogs during walks. She may be reluctant to exit her kennel at first, so slow, patient guidance is important when walking and during transitions.
Overall Health
Healthy overall, with minor issues being managed, including mild allergies and sensitivity that benefit from regular care and attention.
Behavior Determination
Level 4 / Experienced Adopters - Holiday is timid, fearful, and has some treat-taking and handling sensitivities. She needs a patient adopter who can provide consistent confidence-building and low-stress management.
Other Fun Facts
Holiday is gentle and quiet, enjoys learning new cues at her own pace, and can form strong bonds with people who give her time and patience. She appreciates slow, positive interactions and can be a loving, loyal companion once she feels safe.
