LOUISE - BORDER COLLIE / AMERICAN STAFFORDSHIRE TERRIER / MIXED (SHORT COAT) DOG FOR ADOPTION

Description

Dog Breed: Border Collie / American Staffordshire Terrier / Mixed (short coat). Adoption Fee: 600. Louise is here for a good time. She’s a happy, wiggly, slightly clumsy pup who just wants to play, snuggle, and win you over with her charm. Tug-of-war is her game of choice, and when fetch gets going, so do the zoomies. She’s also got that classic puppy move where she flops into your lap like she belongs there. She and her sister Thelma were found dumped at a truck yard. We don’t know anything about their life before that, but since coming into foster care, Louise has shown she’s smart, social, and full of love. She's great with people and other dogs, and she’s picking things up quickly. That said, she’s still a puppy, so she’ll need someone ready to help her with the basics: potty training, commands, and learning not to chew what’s not hers. She has a lot of playful energy, so she’ll need a home where someone’s around to engage with her. She does bark when she's excited (especially at mealtimes or while playing), and she whines a bit when left alone, but settles after a few minutes. She’d do well in a home with another playful dog, as long as they’re okay with puppy energy and someone constantly in their face. If there are kids in the mix, older is better—she's got some bounce to her and might be a little much for toddlers. Louise is a lover through and through, just looking for someone to keep up with her fun, goofy, affectionate self. Louise is from Texas.
