MINA - SMOOTH COLLIE / MIXED (SHORT COAT) DOG FOR ADOPTION

Description

Dog Breed: Smooth Collie / Mixed (short coat). Mina is a cute girl who is always down for some fun! Mina is estimated to be about 4 months old, and she is a smart and happy girl. She missed out on some socialization as a young puppy, so she is still learning about the world, but has blossomed in foster care and can't wait to meet her fur-ever family. Mina currently weighs about 20lbs, and we estimate that she will be around 50lbs when fully grown. Mina came to us from our partners, BONES Pet Rescue in Covelo. Mina and her sister (who has already been adopted) were found on a remote road, likely dumped by their previous owners. A friend of BONES found the puppies and brought them to the rescue. After some TLC, they were transferred to one of our foster homes, and Mina has been growing like a weed ever since. Mina is a curious and playful girl who likes to make new friends and romp around in the yard. She enjoys gentle pets and will even give you sweet kissies if you're lucky. She is still learning all the ropes of being a dog, and needs a family who can be patient with her while she learns and gains confidence. One thing that really helps her feel comfortable is having dog friends. We are hoping she can be adopted by someone who has a confident dog for her to bond with and can help mentor her. Mina is going to be a great companion for someone who is committed to continuing her training and socialization. She is an active and smart girl who learns quickly, especially if yummy treats are involved. Mina has done great with dogs of all sizes, but can be a tad too playful for older dogs, so would do best with a dog who can keep up with her energetic personality. We haven't seen Mina around cats, but she may do well with dog-savvy cats with a slow introduction and proper supervision. Mina has done well with being around livestock and even an extra-large tortoise. Due to her shy personality, Mina would do best in a home with kids older than 12 years old. Mina is still working on all of her basic manners, including house and crate training. She has been doing well being left alone in a secure outside pen, and is happy to keep herself amused out there during the work day. Mina is such a great little girl who has so much potential.
