CARMELLA - Border Collie and Mixed Breed Dog Available for Adoption in Chula Vista, California

Hi there my name is Carmella, and I'm a very sweet girl. I'm new here to the shelter and a little nervous with the loud noises around me but if we have a nice quiet place I warm up quick and want to be right next to you. I know how to sit for treats and enjoy pets on my head. I love to chase squeaky toys, but i'm still learning how to bring them back to you! I love being around my humans and if you take things slow with me I will be a loyal companion for life, come down and visit me to see if we are a match!

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.
