My story

　　Holly: Her holiday miracle was a well-deserved second chance. Nice to meet you! My name is Holly. Im approximately 8-10 years old and I was rescued over the holidays, making my second chance a true HOLLY-day miracle. I have a beautiful brindle coat and Im a 44-pound boxer mix. Everyone at The Animal Pad says that Im a very special gal. For as long as anyone from TAP can remember, I was at their partner shelter in Ensenada. For years, I watched my puppy pals come and go, patiently waiting for my turn at a new, loving life. Finally, this holiday season, my miracle happened. With a mangled paw and one eye bulging from my head, the angels at TAP didnt know if Id make it, but boy am I glad that they gave me a chance. After some much needed TLC and my fair share of trips to the vet, Im a happy and healthy ladyspayed too! My bad eye had to be removed and I wont be a paw-model anytime soon, but Im just truly thankful to be here. Lucky for you, I show my appreciation through endless love! Even though living at a shelter for years might break a dogs spirit, Im not just any old pooch. I am mellow, snuggly, and I love to love and be loved. Of course, I enjoy a good treat or bowl of food too! I havent met a person or dog that I didnt likeIm really not picky. I never bark at other dogs and try to be as polite as possible. I think kids are great and I'm even fine with dog-savvy cats. I bark at them sometimes but never bite or chase. My paw keeps me from running, but I still love going out on walks to smell all the good smells and meet all the good dogs! I do well on the leash, and Im house trained if I have access outdoors. All and all, Im a gentle, patient, trusting, and an overall sweetheart. My ideal family is one with another dog that I can hang with and a yard where I can bask in the sun. However, after years in the shelter, Im really just looking for a furever home filled with lots of love! I know Im a bit older, but I still have a lot of life and love, and Id be grateful to share it with you! My adoption fee is $150 and that includes spaying/neutering, shots, and microchip.
