Description
Dog Breed: Border Collie (medium coat). Adoption Fee: $300. Samira is a bright and affectionate 10-month-old black and white Border Collie with a heart as big as her energy. Weighing in at 39 pounds, she’s pretty much full grown and a wonderful medium size. Samira the perfect mix of playful enthusiasm and sweet companionship. Samira absolutely adores people and is happy to show you with tail wags and kisses. She loves going on walks or runs every day (Border Collies have energy). Once home she will play with every toy in her toy box and then enjoy snuggling next to you until bedtime. She thrives on connection (always wanting to be where her family is) and would do wonderfully in a home that can provide her with attention, exercise, and companionship. She will be fine with or without children or other dogs (she plays nicely with every dog she meets). She hasn't been around cats yet so that's unknown. Her friendly, adaptable nature makes her an easy fit for many kinds of families. That said, because she’s still young and full of excitement, she does have a tendency to jump when greeting people—so her new family should be comfortable with a bit of enthusiastic affection while she continues learning her manners. Samira is already making great progress with her potty training and is well on her way to being fully house-trained. She’s also a champion sleeper, settling down nicely in her crate and sleeping through the night like a pro. With her intelligence, loving personality, and joyful spirit, Samira is ready to bring happiness, positive energy, and lots of cuddles to her forever home.

Overview:
The Border Collie is a highly intelligent and energetic herding dog, originating from the Anglo-Scottish border region where they were bred for their exceptional sheep-gathering abilities. Physically, they are medium-sized dogs with an athletic build, typically weighing between 30-55 pounds, and feature a double coat that can be rough or smooth, appearing in a wide variety of colors, though black and white is most common. Their alert, intense gaze is a hallmark of the breed. Temperamentally, Border Collies are renowned for their incredible trainability, eagerness to please, and boundless energy, making them excellent candidates for dog sports like agility and obedience. However, this high drive means they require significant mental and physical stimulation; without proper outlets, they can become bored and destructive. While loyal and affectionate with their families, their herding instincts can sometimes translate to nipping at children or other pets if not managed, making them generally better suited for experienced owners who can dedicate time to their training and exercise needs. They are definitely not suited for apartment living and thrive in homes with large, secure yards and active lifestyles. Health-wise, they are generally robust, but can be prone to certain genetic conditions such as Collie Eye Anomaly (CEA), hip and elbow dysplasia, and Trapped Neutrophil Syndrome (TNS).
