Meet Holmes 🐾

If you’re looking for the perfect combination of playful, goofy, and incredibly affectionate, Holmes just might be your guy!

This handsome 5-year-old cream Standard Poodle is a total love bug with a heart as big as his fluffy paws. Holmes is happiest when he’s carrying around one of his favorite soft toys, chasing a tennis ball, or soaking up all the cuddles he can get. He’s the larger of the two brothers, but underneath all that fluff is an absolute sweetheart who simply wants to be loved.

Holmes is a smart cookie, too! He’s food motivated and eager to learn, already mastering commands like sit and shake, while quickly picking up new skills like leave it, down, stay, and look at me. He’s discovering that learning is fun—especially when treats are involved!

His favorite pastime? Playtime! Holmes loves fetch, tug-of-war, squeaky toys, and anything involving a tennis ball. Once he’s gotten his zoomies out, he’s perfectly content to curl up on his bed for a nap. One of his most endearing quirks is the dramatic, hilarious groans he lets out as he settles in to relax—you can’t help but laugh every time!

Holmes is house trained, crate trained, rides beautifully in the car, and is a polite gentleman around other dogs. He happily shares toys and food with both his brother and his foster sibling and has wonderful manners in the home. While leash walking is still new to him, he’s making great progress every day and will thrive with a family willing to continue building his confidence.

Most of all, Holmes adores his people. He’ll lean into you for pets, greet you every morning with a wagging tail, and remind you daily just how much love one dog can have.

Holmes shares a very special bond with his brother, Watson. The boys look for one another when they’re apart and truly enjoy life’s adventures together. They would love nothing more than to find a forever family willing to keep this sweet duo together.

If your home could use a little more laughter, a lot more love, and endless cuddles, Holmes is ready to fill that role beautifully.
