Artturi - Border Collie and Mixed Breed Dog for Adoption in Fort Collins, Colorado

Hi, I'm Artturi!

I am a friendly pup with so much love to give! I love to play around with both doggy friends and humans alike! I am a little shy when meeting new folks, so I might take a little bit of time to warm up, but I warm up very fast with some love and patience. The shelter staff tell me I am a "timid guy" who walks well on leash and they tell me what a good boy I am, and I believe it! I'm crate trained, working on perfecting housetraining, and have already aced a beginner obedience class! I love going for car rides, going on runs (I can go for miles!), and playing fetch! Given my age and breed, exercise is definitely the key to unlocking my chill side. I'm a smart boy and I'm eager to learn, making training easy breezy! I can't wait to meet you and see if we might be a great 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.
