About Ronnie

Meet Ronnie! This 9-month-old Retriever/Collie mix is a happy, high-energy goofball who never says no to a toy and is always up for a game of fetch—at least when the impulse strikes. Life is social for Ronnie; he has a thing for other playful young dogs and is always ready to run, wrestle, and explore together. Older dogs often think he’s a handful just because he’s so endlessly enthusiastic. If there’s something to sniff, Ronnie’s nose finds it first. He’s always investigating, sticking his snout in everyone’s business. If you have cats, be warned—his curiosity and liveliness would overwhelm them. Still, he makes up for it by being sharp and motivated. Ronnie already knows sit and lay down, and he’s working on the command for “go to your space.” Crate time might get some early protests, but he settles in after a minute. He’s neutered, house trained, and up-to-date on vaccines, ready to bring his big personality to an active home that appreciates his spunk and wants to work with him as he grows.
