Border Collie and Labrador Retriever Dogs Available for Adoption

Meet Craig!

Curious and kind, this five-month-old, 40-pound border collie/lab mix is longing for a family that will adore him. He arrived at GLDR with his sister Clementine and the two of them are hoping to say so long to kennel living and hello to happier days ahead!

Craig is a gentleman who enjoys his treats and always takes them gently. He's the best brother for Clementine and always helps to put her at ease. Craig may be on the coy side at first, but he's starting to be curious about toys and it's so much fun watching him play ball or tug on his rope toy. We look forward to get to know him even better in the days to come!

Adopting a puppy is a long-term commitment that takes a lot of patience and dedication. Craig will need a family that has the ability to provide training and encouragement to help him build his confidence in his new home. Though we can't say for sure, when fully grown, we estimate he may be upwards of 60 pounds. We think he'll thrive in a home that can provide daily exercise, structure, and a yard to enjoy.

Based on our evaluation, we feel Craig would do best in an active home with adults or family with kids of any age. He may have the ability to live in a home with other animals as he gets along very well with his sister. We are happy to do a meet and greet with your family fur baby.
