About Kraine

Kraine is settling in well at his foster home in Georgia but will soon be making his way to Lebanon, NJ once a permanent spot is open. He’s got that classic Border Collie temperament—full of energy, clever, and always up for attention from people. Kraine is genuinely affectionate and seeks out connection with just about everyone he meets. He’s good with most dogs his size or smaller, though he prefers to keep some distance from dogs bigger than himself due to a previous rough encounter. The current foster setup, surrounded by other dogs, has been a positive and manageable fit for him. If you’re drawn to dogs with smarts, charm, and a friendly streak, Kraine is your ideal match. He’ll thrive in a home where someone is around for most of the day and committed to keeping his mind and body occupied. Kraine’s best days are those with a bit of action and some affection at the end. Ready to meet your new best friend? Apply now!
