Border Collie and Australian Kelpie Dogs Available for Adoption

Meet Joe Joe, a ten month old Border Collie/Kelpie mix weighing 30 pounds.

Joe Joe is a fantastic medium-sized pup with a bright mind and an even brighter personality! His finders shared that he did well in the car and got along pretty well with other dogs, making him a great candidate for all kinds of adventures.

This happy boy already knows how to "sit" and seems very smart and intuitive—he’s eager to learn and ready to keep building on his skills with his future family. Joe Joe also keeps a clean kennel, which is a great sign that he may transition well into a home routine.

With his cheerful attitude, intelligence, and willingness to please, Joe Joe is the kind of dog who will thrive with a little guidance, training, and lots of love.

If you’re looking for a loyal, trainable, and joyful companion, Joe Joe is ready to meet you.
