My story

Handsome HOLMES is on the case to find himself a forever home! Holmes is a 1 year old shepherd mix and weighs 60 lbs. Poor Holmes was found running around in the street with another dog (presumed to be his sibling), who was aptly named Watson. Both went to the over crowded and chaotic city shelter and Watson was adopted fairly quickly, leaving poor Holmes behind, lost without his brother, and sadly being put onto the dreaded At Risk list. Thankfully, Holmes survived because of a wonderful foster who is now caring for Holmes on Long Island and he is learning all about being a dog. Holmes does absolutely amazing in the home and with his foster, a "sweet cuddle bug who loves belly rub." Holmes has made friends with his foster's resident dog, too! Some of Holmes's hobbies include working to get out jerky treats stuffed in kongs and chewing on elk antlers or a good cow ear. Scratching behind the right side of his head is his spot and gets his back leg moving. Although we do hope that in time Holmes will be able to live with another dog (since he came in with Watson and most likely lived with him), but right now for him, he needs a solo pet home or a home where pets can be separated. Although he is absolutely stunning in real life, Holmes needs a little help when venturing outside the home in the city. He does much better on quiet walks in the suburbs, with his canine friends, or will make a great hiking buddy! Holmes has just been through so much in his short life, but really is a good boy inside - we just know in the right home he will crack his own case and be a wonderful companion! Holmes is house trained, fully vetted, neutered, is microchipped and ready to curl up with you on the couch! If you can open your heart and home to dear Holmes, please contact AmsterDog by call/text at 917-689-8414 or by email at info@amsterdog.org. Apply to adopt Holmes at AmsterDog.org. Thanks for caring about a pet in need! Holmes is currently being fostered on Long Island, but transportation is provded for approved adopters

If you have any questions or would like to adopt Holmes, please reach out to the adoption group directly. PetSmart Charities does not facilitate the adoption process. Thank you.
