Pickett is a 1-year-old male Border Collie mix who starts off a little shy but responds quickly once he feels safe. Once he trusts you, he settles into a gentle, calm presence and can be very sweet. He gets along well with several other dogs and his love of treats means he can be trained with steady, positive reinforcement. While Pickett can be a bit of a bite risk, especially when stressed, he responds best to patient, gentle handling. Because of this, he is recommended for homes with children over 11. He’s looking for a caring human who understands he needs time and reassurance, but there’s a loyal companion waiting on the other side. Pickett just needs the right person to give him the forever home he deserves. Ready to meet your new best friend? Apply now!
