Border Collie and Shepherd Dogs Available for Adoption

Lucy is about 12 weeks old and appears to be a Border Collie/Cattle Dog mix. She has lots of energy and drive and will be a fun pup for someone who understands working breeds.

She warms up faster with another dog in the home, but with patience and structure she’ll bond beautifully. She’s doing well in her crate (a few minutes of barking, then nap time) and is eating great.

Lucy will thrive in an active, committed home ready to channel her smarts the right way.
