Cupcake - Shetland Sheepdog Sheltie and Border Collie Dog for Adoption in Minnetrista, Minnesota

Cupcake is a delight! Fondly known as Cece for short, this 36#, 12.5-year-old Sheltie and Border Collie mix proves that age is just a number. She has plenty of pep in her step, a lovely prance when she is happiest, and a zest for life that charms everyone she meets.

Describing Cece is easy. She's friendly, affectionate, confident, curious and observant. She wants to be close to her people, joining in on whatever they are doing. Whether its accompanying them on a leisurely stroll, going out on the pontoon, or simply lounging nearby for ear and butt scratches, Cece enjoys being part of the family. She is a certified cook's assistant in the kitchen!

Her ideal day includes a couple of walks where she can stop and investigate interesting smells along the way. Her ears perk up, her tail rises proudly, and off she goes, ready to explore the world one sniff at a time. A few tosses of a Frisbee or ball, rolling in the grass, watching birds from the deck, and savoring peanut butter frozen treats are also high on her list of favorites.

Cupcake would thrive in a home that appreciates a medium-energy companion. She doesn't need a fenced yard if she can spend time exploring safely on a leash. She's fine with another calm, low-key dog as long as she can dine alone. She could also be the canine center of attention in her new family. She does well with cats and even naps alongside her feline friends.

Because quick movements can startle her, Cupcake would do best in a home without young children.

She is a healthy, happy girl with lots of love to give. If you're looking for a loyal companion for walks, adventures, and cozy evenings, Cece may be the perfect match. See more videos of her playing in the yard at https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLX07iF3qnQnU
