About Holmes

Meet Holmes! He is believed to be about 5-6 years old and is a Lab hound mix with a stage 5 clingy personality. Holmes thrives on being around people and is a mature soul full of sweet, natural joy. His only desire is to love and be loved. He is a true people pleaser, loving everyone he encounters—young and old alike. Holmes is a bright light in any setting. While he might not be the smartest dog, he is incredibly happy. Holmes enjoys anything that involves being close to his humans. He has a submissive personality and gets along well with dogs of all sizes, cats, and other critters. He loves daily walks and exploring trails, but he equally enjoys just relaxing with his people. Holmes is motivated by praise and food alike. Humans mean everything to Holmes.
