She’s still brushing up on leash skills and will need time to settle into her new routine.

Holly is the definition of a cuddle bug! All she ever wants to do is take a light stroll and cuddle on the couch.

Holly was found as a stray, taken to our kennel in Texas and then transported up to our adoption center in Chester County, Pa.

Story
🚨 URGENT! BOJANGLES NEEDS A HOME NOW — MUST BE THE ONLY PET 🚨 📍 Southern shelter — at risk Meet Bojangles, a stunning Akita/Shepherd-type mix who has been let down by humans but still believes his person is out there. This boy is loyal, smart, and absolutely devoted to the people he trusts. He just needs ONE person to choose him. 💔 ONLY PET NEEDED Bojangles wants all the love to himself. He bonds deeply and does best without other animals in the home. He is NOT aggressive just a one-pet kind of guy. 💙 What makes Bojangles special: • Handsome, unique Akita/Shepherd look • Loyal & people-focused • Smart, alert, and eager to please • Walks well on leash • Medium energy — loves walks and outdoor time • Protective in a good, “I love my person” way 🆘 Why he’s urgent: Shelter life is extremely stressful for him, especially being surrounded by other dogs. He needs out immediately before he shuts down. Bojangles is out of time. 🏡 He needs: • A home with no other pets • Someone experienced with Shepherd/Akita-type breeds • A patient, calm adopter willing to give him a chance • A loving home where he can finally feel safe ❤️ He will be the most loyal companion you’ve ever had. Bojangles isn’t for everyone — but he will be everything to the right person. PLEASE TEXT KAREN 4136298152
