Mara - Border Collie and Australian Shepherd Dog for Adoption in Monticello, Iowa

Mara is a happy, energetic girl who is always ready for her next adventure. With her striking heterochromia and bright, curious personality, she turns heads everywhere she goes. She approaches life with excitement and loves having the freedom to run, explore, and see what the day has in store.

This playful girl thrives on activity and would love a family that enjoys spending time outdoors. She loves to chase toys and has a blast running after them, although she's still deciding whether bringing them back is part of the game! While she's always up for playtime, she's equally happy to pause for a few pets before heading back out to continue her adventures.

Mara keeps her kennel clean and would do best in an active home that can provide plenty of daily exercise, enrichment, and a securely fenced yard where she can safely stretch her legs. She has not yet been formally dog tested, so any introductions to other dogs should be done thoughtfully. Based on her personality, she may be selective about her canine companions, so slow, positive introductions will help set her up for success.

With her beautiful mismatched eyes, playful spirit, and adventurous personality, Mara is ready to find a family that can match her enthusiasm for life. If you're looking for an active companion who will happily join you on hikes, walks, and outdoor adventures before settling in for a few well-earned pets, Mara could be the perfect addition to your family.
