Border Collie and Cattle Dog Dogs Available for Adoption in Medford Lakes, New Jersey

Meet Sheriff! 🤠

This handsome pup just joined us from one of our shelter partners and he’s already making himself right at home in foster care. At around 6 months old, Sheriff is full of energy, personality, and smarts! We believe he’s a cattle dog / border collie mix.

Sheriff is dog-friendly, loves people, and has a protective nature. He’s also got that classic herding dog instinct (yes… he may try to “collect” his favorite things 😄). The good news? He knows how to settle down and relax when it’s time to chill but he’ll definitely need regular exercise and mental stimulation to stay happy and balanced. He’s not the ideal fit for a first-time owner, but in the right home, he’s going to be an incredible companion.
