Holmes made the journey to ATTFR with his siblings after spending his first weeks with very limited human interaction. He's the most reserved of the litter and can be unsure around new people, but beneath that cautious exterior is a gentle puppy who wants to trust. In fact, despite his fears, he surprised his caregivers with a big kiss—a small moment that perfectly captures the sweet dog he's becoming.

Holmes is making steady progress in foster care as he learns that people are safe and the world isn't so scary after all. He'll thrive with a patient family who will celebrate every milestone, giving him the time and encouragement he needs to build confidence at his own pace.
