Australian Shepherd and Border Collie Dogs Available for Adoption in Avon, Ohio

Maggie is a 4-year-old Aussie/Border Collie mix weighing in at 42 lbs, and she's everything you'd expect from a true herding girl-smart, sensitive, and full of personality. This sweet girl is looking for a home that understands her breed and is ready to help her thrive.

Maggie does well with other dogs, especially those who respect her space and allow her time to feel comfortable. Once she settles in, her gentle and loving nature really shines. She appears to be housetrained and is overall a well-mannered companion.

Like many herding breeds, Maggie forms strong bonds with her people and can experience some separation anxiety. She will need a secure crate and a patient family willing to help her build confidence when left alone. The good news-after a little initial protest, she does settle down.

Maggie will do best with an active home that can provide her with the physical exercise and mental stimulation she craves. Prior experience with herding breeds will set her up for success. Because of her natural instincts, she would do best in a home with older, respectful children.

We're not yet sure how Maggie feels about cats, but we're happy to arrange a cat test if needed.

If you're looking for a loyal, intelligent companion and are ready to give Maggie the structure and activity she needs, she just might be your perfect match.
