DUKE - BORDER COLLIE / MIXED DOG FOR ADOPTION

Description

Dog Breed: Border Collie / Mixed. This puppy is in Tennessee. Adoption Donation $250 if picked up in TN, $325 plus transport fee for out-of-state adoptions. Meet Duke, a charming 6-month-old, 21-pound Border Collie mix who’s as bright as he is lovable! This playful pup is the perfect mix of energy and sweetness, with a friendly, easy-going nature that makes him a joy to be around. With an energy level right in the middle, Duke is always up for a walk or a good play session, but he’s just as happy to stretch out in the grass afterward and soak up some sunshine. Duke’s favorite things include going on walks, chewing his toys, and exploring new places, though he can be a little shy at first. Once he’s had a few minutes to settle in, his tail starts wagging, and his curious, adventurous spirit shines through. He’s great with other dogs, cats, kids, and strangers, making him a wonderful fit for a variety of homes. This smart young pup hasn’t had much formal training yet, but he’s eager to learn and will thrive with a family who can guide him through the basics. Border Collies are known for their intelligence and love of activity, so Duke will do best with an active family who enjoys walks, hikes, or playtime in the yard, and maybe even some fun brain games to keep him sharp. Duke is still a puppy at heart with a lifetime of love and loyalty ahead of him. If you’re looking for a sweet, fun, and clever companion to join your adventures, Duke is ready to be your best buddy!
