Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.Meet HOLLY! Holly was saved from a high-kill shelter in Calfornia and arrived at Give a Dog a Home Rescue in Sebec, Maine on Saturday 19 July. We post our available dogs in states across the East Coast and Canada to reach as many people as possible in hopes of finding perfect homes and families. We do not transport dogs — families must come to the rescue in Sebec, Maine to meet and, hopefully, take home their new best friend. * * HOLLY went to a wonderful FOSTER family in Howland, Maine, (who adopted two pit mixes from GaDaH over the years) on 1st September 2025 Foster Family Update - November 2025 Holly is a showstopper. This stunning blue nose pitbull/lab mix has a fully silver coat and piercing blue eyes that shimmer like moonlight. Yes, she’s as magical as she sounds. But don’t let her beauty distract you from her brilliance: Holly is one of the smartest pups we’ve ever fostered. She’s not just book-smart (though she knows a dizzying number of tricks and commands); she’s emotionally intuitive. Holly reads your body language like a pro and often knows what you want before you say a word. Her perceptiveness makes training a breeze and her eagerness to please makes it a joy. Holly is part couch potato, part kiss goblin. She’ll melt into your lap and smother you with licks, using her cuteness as a free pass to invade your personal space. And honestly? You’ll let her. She’s that charming. She is a young dog and still needs a good amount of exercise to keep her healthy and mentally challenged. Her gentle nature makes her a dream companion. She’s goofy, affectionate, and endlessly entertaining. Whether she’s making you laugh with her antics or dazzling you with her obedience, Holly is the kind of dog who could win competitions, or just win your heart. She loves to chew, so stock up on sturdy toys. And if you’re looking for a dog who will amaze you daily, cuddle you nightly, and love you fiercely forever… Holly is waiting Health & Background &#226&#156&#133 Spayed &#226&#156&#133 Rabies and core vaccines up to date &#226&#156&#133 On monthly flea/tick preventatives &#226&#156&#133 Microchipped &#226&#154&#150&#239&#184&#143 Weight: 13 pounds (mid July) Estimated DoB: 24 February 2025   What HOLLY Needs ‍&#226&#153&#128&#239&#184&#143 An active family that can meet her physical and mental exercise needs - she walks good on the leash.
