"Hollie" - 3 year old Female

Blue

Awww... this little girl will melt your heart.

Hollie requires a special home because she is special,.... & not only because she is child-friendly, dog-friendly, cat-friendly & chook-friendly, but because she suffers from a mild blood clotting disorder (which does not affect her daily life).  This sweet, lazy, comfort-loving hound is very laid-back & easy to have around - she needs a home in a prominently indoor situation where she can live, love & lounge.
