Pet of the Week: Holly the Shepherd is All Heart (and Ready to Adopt)
By Staff Writer
Published on Fri, Mar 27, 2026
Our Pet of the Week feature shines a spotlight on lovable animals waiting for a second chance. Each week, we introduce a pet from Long Beach Animal Care Services who’s hoping to catch the eye—and heart—of someone ready to offer a forever home.
Meet Holly, a 3-year-old German Shepherd weighing about 60 pounds. With her calm personality and affectionate nature, Holly is the kind of dog who quickly becomes a steady companion.
Sweet, gentle and easygoing, Holly enjoys exploring the world at her own pace before settling in for some well-earned relaxation time. She’s comfortable around people and other dogs, loves attention, and isn’t shy about sharing kisses.
Shy dogs like Holly sometimes get overlooked simply because they’re patient and well-mannered, but they often turn out to be the most loyal friends. If you’ve been considering welcoming a devoted, loving dog into your life, Holly could be the perfect match.
