Description
Dog Breed: Border Collie / Great Pyrenees (medium coat). Meet Snowie! Some dogs give their love to everyone. Snowie saves hers for someone special. This beautiful girl has a thoughtful, loyal heart and is looking for a family who understands that the strongest bonds are worth waiting for. Snowie can be shy when meeting new people, preferring to take her time before letting someone into her circle. But once you've earned her trust, you'll have a devoted companion who will stand by your side through everything. A graduate of our PAWs to Prison training program, Snowie is incredibly well-trained and knows an impressive list of commands including sit, stay, down, come, heel, wait, paw, high five, up, no, and off. She's intelligent, observant, and loves working with someone she trusts. She also has beautiful leash manners, walking calmly and confidently wherever you go. Snowie enjoys playing with other dogs and is social with canine friends, though she prefers to be the one calling the shots. She's naturally protective of the people she loves, making her a loyal companion who is always looking out for her family. Snowie isn't looking for just anyone—she's looking for her person. Someone who will appreciate her gentle spirit, respect the time it takes to earn her trust, and be rewarded with a bond unlike any other. If you're looking for a faithful best friend whose love is deep, unwavering, and lifelong, Snowie may be the one you've been waiting for.

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).
