Hi there - this is our sweet 9 year old Heeler mix Holland. She is a low energy girl (surprising for her breed but she's a homebody!) and loves slow walks, belly rubs, and napping with her people. Holland has reactivity issues to other animals and children and this has sadly made it impossible for us to keep her in our home with a small child. She has been a wonderful companion for 9 years and is in great health (recent physical and up to date on all vaccinations). She is a very anxious girl, so being patient/gentle with her is a must. She would be great for someone without pets/children looking for a low-key, snuggly companion. Please contact for more information.
