Ladies and gentlemen, let me introduce you to the adorable Johnny! 🌟 This 3.5-month-old Border Collie mix, weighing in at a delightful 15 lbs, is just bursting with the joys of puppyhood! Can you imagine the energy ramp-up that’s coming as he grows? Expected to reach around 40 lbs as a handsome adult, Johnny is ready to bring joy, laughter, and perhaps a few joyous ‘oops’ moments into your life! 🌈 Now, let's talk about the enthusiastic levels of love and responsibility that come with raising a puppy. Johnny is an eager learner, currently working on his potty training (which can be a comedic adventure of its own!). At this moment, he’s keeping those wee pads busy and is on the path to mastering the outdoor potty dance – such talent! 🌕💦 Ideal for those with intermediate dog-ownership experience, Johnny is going to need plenty of exercise, love, and mental stimulation. We’re talking 90 consecutive minutes of walking and playtime in the mornings plus energizing games throughout the day! 🏃‍♂️💨 And as he grows, that energy is likely to reach sky-high levels, requiring even more engagement. Are you ready for this delightful rollercoaster ride of puppy parenting? 🎢 While he’s playful, this pup’s social skills with other dogs, children ages 8 and up (supervised, of course!), and even cats are on the rise. However, let’s be honest, he’s in that lovable mouthy phase – think of it as his unique way of exploring the world (with sharp little puppy teeth as evidence!). So buckle up, because this adventure will need patience, training, and lots of chew-proof toys! 🧸 Johnny is a true social butterfly, making friends with everyone, though he’ll need guidance to navigate that delightful puppy phase which can sometimes get a bit too rambunctious for smaller humans. Additionally, he may experience some mild separation anxiety – that’s normal for most pups his age – so consistent training is key to help him feel secure when you’re not home. What a journey it has been for Johnny to find his way to you! Rescued from a place where there’s a critical shortage of spay/neuter resources, he’s now seeking a loving home in the northeast where there’s a demand for furry friends just like him. 🌎❤️ Are you ready to fill your life with snuggles and joy with this fabulous little pup?
