Hollis's Story

If interested, please contact the foster home. Petfinder Profiles doesn't always work.<br/><br/>Meet Hollis!<br/><br/>Hollis is a 1½-year-old neutered male Australian Cattle Dog weighing about 44 pounds. He’s a handsome blue-and-gray boy who is up to date on all vaccinations (including canine influenza), is heartworm negative, and is currently on monthly prevention. His early background is unknown, as he was found as a stray, but since entering foster care, he has truly blossomed.<br/><br/>Hollis has earned the nickname “Meatball” thanks to his ultra-cuddly, affectionate personality. He absolutely loves people and enjoys the company of other dogs. He does tend to jump up when he gets excited, but he responds quickly to redirection and is learning great manners. He walks well on a leash and is friendly when meeting new people.<br/><br/>Hollis is dog-friendly, though his enthusiasm can be a bit much for more timid pups. He does best with parallel walks or gentle introductions. He knows sit and lie down and is continuing to practice with consistency. He is fully house-broken and will let you know when he needs to go outside!<br/>He is food-motivated (especially when pizza is involved, he is still working on not counter surfing!) and is gradually learning to enjoy toys. <br/><br/>When he first arrived, he was unsure of them, but with the help of his foster dog friends, he now loves his squeaky apple and pumpkin toys. Hollis is good in the car but can get a little nervous, and he may cower when encountering new things—there is still a lot in the world he’s learning about.<br/>Hollis thrives on attention and affection. He’s looking for a loving forever home committed to continuing his training, socialization, and confidence building. With patience and guidance, this sweet, snuggly boy has so much potential to shine.<br/><br/>If you’re looking for a loyal, loving companion with a goofy cuddle-bug side, Hollis may be your perfect match. He is fostered in Washington, CT.<br/>Please reach out to his foster home at dkohn325@gmail.com with any questions<br/>about Hollis or to arrange a meet and greet.<br/><br/>Complete an Application <br/>https://www.acdra.org/adoption-application
