HOLLY is a nine-year-old pointer cross. She has now been in the care of the shelter for nine months and is starting to get quite depressed in kennels.

Holly does have a tendency to be nervous and shy away from strangers but will play and give plenty of love once she has built her trust in you.

Don't let Holly's age put you off as she is still an extremely active girl who would play ball-chasing and squeaky toy games all day if she could.

Holly would prefer to live in a home without other animals and with older, more sensible, children.

Holly still has plenty of love to give and desperately needs to find her loving "forever home".
