About Panda

Meet Panda, possibly the most charming water-loving Border Collie mix you’ll find on this side of the country. At just over two years old, this energetic and irrepressible neutered male is made for active folks who know their way around herding breeds. Panda thrives on attention and physical contact—if you like your space, he’s not your guy. He’s always up for a run or a game of keep-away, and he tackles outdoor adventures with the enthusiasm of a pup chasing his first stick. Panda’s been a star in the Dogs-Day-Out program, splashing in lakes and exploring the world with a huge smile. He’ll need a dog meet-and-greet before heading home if you already have a canine companion; households with cats aren’t the right fit for him. Panda brings lots of heart, energy, and a big dose of joy wherever he goes. Born March 26, Panda is an Aries—no surprise he jumps headfirst into everything!
