About Charity

Charity is a sharp, lively Border Collie and Jack Russell mix around four years old and about 20 pounds. Medium-coated with black and white markings, she has a real knack for problem-solving and loves to stay active. Daily ball games and walks are her favorite, though she also appreciates a good stretch of downtime after wearing herself out. Charity needs a bit of time to trust new people, but once she warms up, she shows her playful and bright nature. Her Border Collie side comes through in her tendency to herd if you aren’t paying attention. Charity wants a home entirely to herself—she isn’t looking to share space with children, cats, or other dogs. She’ll do best with someone familiar with Border Collies or Jack Russells who can appreciate her quirks and intelligence. Ready to meet a loyal, unique companion? Charity’s waiting for the right fit.
