Plenty of Pets

Holly is a 12-week-old mixed breed who is still learning house-training and crate training. She’s being raised with other dogs and cats, and likes to play and chew on her toys. She loves to be close to her humans and snuggle during naptime.

Holly will need plenty of time devoted to her, as she’s still learning a lot about how she should behave.

She is expected to weigh 20 to 25 pounds when fully grown.
She is spayed; vaccinated (8 week & 12 week), treated for parasites and micro chipped. She comes with 30-days of free pet insurance courtesy of 24PetWatch. Holly will require an additional booster vaccine (16 week), which is the new owner’s responsibility. Her adoption fee is $400.
For more information on Holly, check out the Coastal K9 Rescue website or Facebook page or email [email protected]
