Puffin - Wirehaired Terrier and Border Collie Dog for Adoption in Homestead, Florida

From Puffin's foster mom-

Oh PUFFIN! Am I in love? Absolutely! but she's in need of a perfect forever home...
Now below are the details of what she's like and what kind of home she'll need:
She's about 4m old, (August 2026) found as stray (eating trash), parents unknown, possibly terrier & border collie?
She has one ear up and curly tail and long scruffy hair which I'm not sure if it's going to shed
She is 15lbs now and will be definitely medium dog later (if not large)
She's smart, active, toy oriented, sweet, friendly with everyone
She is energetic, loves to run (zoomies like crazy), loves her rope toy for playing tug-a-war, she does love to chew, dig, chase after a ball
She loves to play (wrestle) with other dogs who will play with her back but she absolutely respects boundaries of older or smaller dogs who don't want to have anything to do with her
She sleeps in her crate all night but she does have occasional potty accidents
She walks wonderfully on the leash
She would be PERFECT for someone who's active in the dog world - dog sports (agility, flyball, lure cursing, nose work?, maybe even herding?).
She can't be a couch potato, she would not be happy doing nothing, she needs someone active and moving and exploring world and enjoying life.

The Wirehaired Terrier is a charming and energetic dog breed known for its shaggy coat and lively personality. Originating from terriers bred for hunting small game, they are intelligent, spirited, and make loyal companions. Their wiry coat requires regular grooming to prevent matting, and they thrive on ample exercise and mental stimulation. With proper training and socialization, Wirehaired Terriers can be excellent family pets, excelling in activities such as agility and obedience.
