About Us
Holly, the Dog of the Day
Name: Holly
Age: Six months old
Gender: Female Breed: Lab, Golden Retriever Mix
Home: Kansas City, Missouri, USA
 
   Holly Bush is about five or six months old. She is a mix of (we think) Lab and Golden Retriever. Holly is very special because my husband and I had been looking for a puppy for quite some time, and couldn't find one that fit our personality, lifestyle, or budget. We decided to go to an Animal Hospital (FMA animal clinic) and check out their bulletin board for free puppies. There weren't any free puppies on the bulletin board that day but Holly had been brought in just a few days ago. The animal hospital had her there because they were trying to nurse her back to health. She had been brought in having several fleas and terribly malnourished, physically abused, and very weak. We took one look at her and knew that she was the puppy for us. Even though she was very skinny and could hardly walk she was still adorable and very loving. We took her home the next day! Now Holly weighs around 31 pounds and is just like any other normal puppy. She loves to play in the snow and chew on her bone and take long naps in front of our fireplace. Also the Animal Hospital helps us pay for all of her doctor bills and shots since we adopted her from their clinic. Things have really worked out great for me and my husband and Holly too!
