Panda is an affectionate, calm, and playful 8- to 9-year-old Collie/Australian Shepherd mix with just the right mix of old-soul wisdom and spunky charm. While he tips the scale at 53 pounds, he’s got a gentle heart and a steady, companionable presence. Panda is house-trained, crate-trained (though he’d rather have the run of the house), and has mastered the art of cuddling. He enjoys belly rubs, slow strolls by the lake, and surveying the backyard from a sunny patio. Panda gets along well with medium and large dogs but isn’t suitable for a home with cats or small dogs. His energy is moderate—he’ll laze the day away but still perks up to chase a stray bug or two. He fits best with a quiet family or a work-from-home adopter who values easy company and a dog who likes to be close. Panda’s years have given him a few white hairs, but not a trace of boredom. He’ll hang beside you—whether you’re tidying up, making dinner, or enjoying a lazy afternoon. Ready for a companion who knows how to relax, but can still surprise you? Panda’s waiting in Yonkers, NY.
