Holiday is a 1 year old Maltese x Poodle mix who can’t wait to make the season bright with her forever family! Holiday was rescued from the shelter, where she landed heavily pregnant and looking for someone to help her out. We scooped her up and a few days later she had a litter of adorable puppies! She was an amazing Mama and now that her puppies are ready for homes of their own, she’s excited to start her next adventure with you! Holiday weighs around 15 pounds and is the most perfect petite little lady. She has a lightly shedding coat and an adorable little snaggletooth that gives her a unique look. She turns heads wherever she goes! If you’re ready to kickstart the holidays a bit early, come out and meet Holiday today! 

 

  

Holiday is a cuddly, velcro dog who wants to be with her people every minute of the day. She adores her chosen humans and wants to snuggle every minute of the day with you. Holiday is the kind of dog where once you win her heart, she is yours forever. Holiday is a great mix of playful and laid back energy. She likes to play and show off her zoomies, but is also happy to curl up and snooze an afternoon away as her foster mom works at her desk.  Holiday’s dream home is somewhere she can find her throne on a pile of blankets and pillows. She would love to be a WFH companion as she just wants to be near her people as often as she can. She would love to join a home with a resident dog or cat so she has a constant buddy to play with and follow around. Holiday is super funny as well, gathering her toys and stashing them in her foster mom’s office from the other dogs. She loves her tiny tennis balls and is happy to play fetch for as long as you throw the ball. With her bright eyes and her adorable little snaggletooth, Holiday turns heads wherever she goes. Holiday is so excited to haul out the holly and make the season bright! 

Holiday wakes up in her foster mom’s bed around 7:30 AM and curls up for some morning snuggles until she’s ready to start her day. She eats breakfast around 8 AM, a mixture of wet food and kibble. She keeps her foster mom company as she works from home, curling up on a soft bed or the couch as she snoozes the hours away. She gets a snack around lunchtime followed by some playtime with her puppies. She takes another long nap until she’s ready for her dinner, which is served at 6 PM. In the evening, Holiday hops up on the couch and rolls over for kisses and snuggles. She’s always happy to binge watch some TV, as long as she’s by your side! Holiday goes out for one more potty around 11 PM and then follows her foster mom up to bed! 

Holiday has always lived with dogs of varying sizes and will be an amazing addition to any home, whether or not there are resident dogs. She gets along fabulously with the four resident cats. Holiday is cautious but curious when she meets new humans, but is quickly won over with tasty snacks. Holiday is working on her leash walking and potty training skills. If you’re ready for a new best friend, come and meet our Holiday! 

 

  

Holiday is an option for homes with prior dog experience, even if less recent. Kids should be over the age of 7.

More about this rescue

We are passionate folks who love dogs and love people! We strive to make the most appropriate match between human and canine. Because our dogs live in foster homes we know about their temperament and personality and therefore can help families and individuals decide if the dog is a good match or not. We are excited to help people find the right pooch for them and look forward to meeting great folks and welcoming them into the DPS Family.
