About Treena

Treena is a Border Collie and German Shepherd mix who thrives on canine companionship and an active lifestyle. At just over two years old, she's full of energy and loves to run, play chase, and explore the outdoors—especially when there's a stick around to chew on. Treena has spent time in a foster home with many dogs, so she's got all the social skills and playfulness you'd expect from a dog raised in good company. She strongly prefers a home with another dog of similar size and energy and enjoys playing with boys, though she can mix with the right female as well. Obedience and agility courses come naturally to Treena—her training is extensive, and she's started to shine in agility. She travels well in the car, behaves in public spaces, and gets along with kids and puppies. Treena doesn't seem interested in cats, making cohabitation easy for feline households. She needs a securely fenced yard where she can stretch her legs and burn off energy. While she's still working on house training, she's quick to pick up routines with structure and support. If you can meet her need for daily exercise and canine friendship, Treena is ready to join your family. Click apply to start the adoption process.
