DOLLY - BORDER COLLIE / MIXED (MEDIUM COAT) DOG FOR ADOPTION

Description

Dog Breed: Border Collie / Mixed (medium coat). Adoption Fee: 300. Meet Dolly! Border Collie Mix | 6 Years Old | Sweetheart Extraordinaire Dolly is a gentle, loving 6-year-old Border Collie mix with a heart of gold and a playful spark that keeps things fun. She will need to get in some exercise as she weighs about 90 lbs but she's up for anything. She’s great with kids, dogs, and cats—and while she’s curious about the kitties, she’s respectful (even if your cats are used to darting from bouncy puppies!). Dolly is a total lovebug—kisses are her love language, and she’ll happily dole them out to her favorite humans. She enjoys playful games like chasing the other pups around the yard but also has a protective streak—she doesn’t love when roughhousing gets a little too wild, especially if it involves her people. She’s a big fan of cozy spots—air vents, dog beds, and especially couches (if she can hop up). Her beautiful coat does require regular brushing to prevent matting, but a little grooming time is just another opportunity for bonding with this affectionate girl. Dolly would thrive in a home where she can be loved, brushed, and included—she's got so much heart to give and is ready to share it with a forever family.
