Border Collie and Mixed Breed Dogs Available for Adoption
KERPLUNK
Border Collie, Mixed Breed
🇺🇸
Monticello, Iowa
February 26th
female, medium, baby
DESCRIPTION
Part of an adorable litter named after family-favorite board games, we think this sweet girl won the name lottery. At just 4 months old, Kerplunk is a beautiful Border Collie mix with a striking, perfectly symmetric bicolor coat and the softest brown eyes that seem to look right into your heart.
Kerplunk can be a little shy at first, especially in loud or chaotic environments. Big noises and lots of activity can make her pause and take it all in. She’s still building her confidence and feels most secure when she has her siblings nearby, but every day she’s getting braver and more willing to venture out on her own. Because of this, she would likely feel most comfortable in a home with a confident, friendly dog to show her the ropes—but that’s not a requirement. With patience and encouragement, she’ll bond closely with her people and learn that the world isn’t such a scary place.
Once Kerplunk feels safe, her playful personality shines. Tug is her absolute favorite game—she’s happy to play with another dog or enthusiastically dig in for a match with her humans. And when playtime is over? She’s more than ready to snuggle up. Kerplunk is wonderfully affectionate once she trusts you and understands she’s safe. She loves being close, soaking up gentle pets and quiet cuddle time.
She does well with other dogs, cats, and kids, making her a lovely addition to many types of families. Like any young puppy, she’s still working on potty-training and crate-training, but she’s making progress and just needs consistency and patience to continue succeeding.
Kerplunk would thrive in a home willing to give this quiet, tender-hearted girl the safety, reassurance, and space she needs to show her true personality. Behind those soft brown eyes is a loyal, loving companion just waiting to blossom.

ABOUT: BORDER COLLIE DOG BREED
The Border Collie is a highly intelligent and energetic dog breed known for their herding capabilities and exceptional obedience. Originating from the border regions of Scotland and England, these agile and versatile dogs are famous for their focus, stamina, and trainability. With their striking black and white coat and intense gaze, Border Collies excel in various canine sports and activities, making them ideal companions for active families and individuals seeking a loyal and dynamic pet.
The mixed breed dogs, often referred to as mutts, are a diverse and unique group with a blend of different characteristics from various purebred dog breeds. These dogs come from a mixture of lineages, resulting in a wide range of sizes, coat types, and temperaments. While each mixed breed dog is distinct in its own right, they are known for their resilience, adaptability, and often have fewer health issues compared to purebred dogs due to their genetic diversity. Mixed breed dogs make wonderful companions for families looking for a loyal and one-of-a-kind pet.
