Igris - Border Collie and Mixed Breed Dog for Adoption in Reno, Nevada

This is Igris. He is not sure how he got in this situation. One day he was chatting with his buddies and the next he found himself in a new place. Indie is a smart guy who just needs a little bit of encouragement to be a best boy.

He would do best in a home with no cats and a family who will help reinforce the things he has learned. Igris is a bit slow to warm up to new people and places and has a great deal of energy to burn (both physical and mental). He will benefit from seeing a trainer to give you both some tools for a happy life and cool adventures together.

Getting a dog is a long term commitment which begins in steps. Igris will take 3 days to begin to settle into a new home with new people and 3 weeks to start to feel like the home is his. It may take 3 months for your relationship to begin to feel like the real thing. It all starts with a meeting and a pup cup...are you ready to make a long term commitment? Igris is!

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.
