Suit up, brave hearts—Paladin reporting for duty! I am 8 months old and ready for my forever home! I’m a noble little warrior on a quest for love, adventure, and lots of belly rubs. As a Border Collie mix, I’ve got the brains and the bravery. I’m working hard every day to master the noble arts of housebreaking, crate training, and leash walking—and I’m making steady progress like the valiant pup I am. I’m playful, sweet, and always ready for a game, a cuddle, or a new challenge. I am the sweetest boy who will fall into you when I am getting picked up. I will also patiently wait if you are drying my feet off after a yard romp. I get along great with fellow companions—kids ((but may knock little ones under the age of 5 over),, dogs, and maybe even a few noble steeds (okay, maybe just more dogs). In my forever home, I will need a house setting with a fenced yard and another dog to show me the way. I would do best with an active family who loves adventures like hiking or running. So if you’re looking for a smart, kind-hearted warrior to join your family on life’s grand adventure, pick me—Sir Paladin of Puppyshire, at your service! **As a reminder, puppies will need lots of time and attention during the first year. Before adopting me, please make sure that you have enough time, energy and commitment to devote to my training. Puppies need a lot of care, so everyone in your household should be on board and ready to help out** My adoption fee is $150 and includes my spay/neuter, vaccinations, wellness exam, heartworm test, and microchip! If you're interested in meeting/adopting me, please visit www.rescueonespringfield.com/our-adoption-process/adoption-application/ and fill out the form! We do adopt out of state with vet references and video home check. *Adopter is responsible for coming to get the dog and returning the dog if the adoption does not work out* **Rescue One is unable to provide an exact prediction of how big or small your rescue puppy will become when full grown. Any approximation provided is no guarantee.** Don't forget to LIKE us on Facebook!-www.facebook.com/rescueonespringfield *Remember, dogs are pack animals. Because of this, Rescue One does not adopt to outdoor-only homes. Pets are family and are not disposable. Please make sure that you are 100% committed to a pet before considering adding one to your home. We are a foster-based organization, and we need more fosters to help us save more animals!
