About Kraine

Kraine is thriving in his Atlanta, GA foster home and gets along well with dogs his size or smaller. He’s had a bad encounter with a Rottweiler, so big dogs stress him out, but otherwise he’s easy-going with other pups. Kraine is great with cats, fully housetrained, and naturally affectionate, gravitating toward anyone willing to give him attention. If you know Border Collies, you’ll recognize those signature traits—sharp mind, alert energy, and a loyalty that’s hard to match. He’ll need an adopter who can keep up with his mental and physical stimulation needs, so a home with time and willingness to engage his bright spirit would be the best fit. He has plenty of love to give and will do especially well in a family or with someone who enjoys an active, connected canine companion. Give them the home they have been waiting for. Apply today.
