🌟 Introducing Kip! This 4.5-year-old Border Collie is not just any dog; he's a heartwarming bundle of affection and playfulness rolled into one! Kip has had a rocky start in life, but let me tell you, this boy is ready to rewrite his story with YOU! After being abandoned, he has shown nothing but kindness and trust, proving that love can heal even the deepest wounds. ❤️ With an energy level that's perfectly balanced – think moderate to active – Kip thrives on adventure! He’s your ideal partner for all things outdoors, eager to explore the world by your side. But hold on – don’t think he’s all about the action! This lovable goofball also adores snuggle time and is a true cuddle monster. He loves to be your shadow and, well, might even try to steal your spot on the couch! 😂 Kip is incredibly smart and already knows commands like "sit," "down," and "shake." He’s always ready to learn more, which just makes him all the more endearing! 🙌 Plus, he's dog-friendly and will get along fabulously with any dog-savvy cat who likes to play! But a gentle reminder: Kip is a little sensitive and can get sad when someone leaves the house. He’s working on overcoming his nervousness around new people because what he really wants is to make loving human connections! This handsome fella is house trained and crate trained, making him the perfect houseguest. He enjoys a steady routine and thrives in a loving environment where he knows he belongs. Kip needs a family who will shower him with the affection and structure he’s been missing. Are you ready to give this sweet boy a loving home? You won’t just find a pet in Kip; you’ll discover a loyal companion for life who will give you his whole heart in return! 🐾💖 Remember, Kip is looking for a home that isn’t a rental and ideally has older, considerate children who can respect his space. If you think you can provide Kip with the loving, patient home he deserves, then you need to *apply through the Buddy App* to make him a part of your family! 💕
