Hozier is a young, male Collie in Hartland, WI who embodies the medium-sized, playful spirit of his breed. He's not yet house trained and is looking for someone ready to give him the structure and exercise he needs. This happy pup will reward patience and effort with plenty of fun and affection.

About Hozier

Hozier is an energetic young Collie with a genuine enthusiasm for life. At about a year old and a solid mid-sized build, he’s a classic, playful pup whose long tail is always in motion when you say hello. He’s easygoing in his kennel—waiting patiently when things are quiet—but springs to life when it’s time for a walk. Hozier would thrive with an active owner who likes outdoor time and can handle bursts of goofy puppy energy. Dog classes would suit him well, as he’s eager to learn and benefits from structure. A fenced yard is a bonus for zoomies, though not a must. He’s not a fit for anyone seeking a mellow or low-energy companion, or for those of senior age. He loves the snow, enjoys hiding and finding toys, and can’t resist a good belly rub. Hozier gets along with other dogs and is currently hanging out in Hartland, WI, waiting for the right match.
