About Neptune

Neptune blends high energy with affectionate loyalty. He’s young, eager, and striking—a black and white Border Collie/Black Lab mix with a short coat who shines when paired with other dogs. Neptune does best in the company of a confident, experienced person who understands how to provide structure, activity, and security. He gets along well with dogs, both male and female, showing a clear preference for appropriate canine companionship and guidance. Neptune is not a fit for homes with young children right now, as he’s still building trust, especially with some male figures, though he’s proven himself capable of positive new interactions when the approach is consistent and calm. He’s currently thriving in foster care alongside an experienced handler and needs a home that will keep his mind and body busy—think regular beach outings, hikes, or agility activities. His energy level is high at first, but with the right task or physical outlet, he settles beautifully. Neptune is house trained, neutered, and current on vaccinations. Foster-to-adopt trial is required, giving plenty of time to ensure the placement is perfect. For his forever, he’s looking for someone who can offer both boundaries and affection, ideally with another friendly dog by his side. Ready to meet your new best friend? Apply now!
