Black Labrador Retriever and Border Collie Dogs Available for Adoption in Ithaca, New York

Meet Miah (62 pounds)! This sweet girl was brought to us because her owner had to move to a place where they couldn't keep her. Here's what we know about Miah so far: she has lived with another dog, a kid, and cats (which she found very fun to play with). She's a little introverted when it comes to meeting strangers, but once you're friends with her, she loves cuddling! In her previous home, she was crate and house trained.

If you have a dog already in your home, our adoptions team can set up a meet-and-greet with your resident pup in a controlled environment with our behavior staff to see if they get along. Want to meet Miah and see if she's a match for your family? Visit our adoption center Wednesday-Sunday: 12:00-4:30 PM (Thursday: 12:00-6:30 PM)
