Meet the one and only Ian! 💙 This fabulous fellow is a Standard Blue Merle Border Collie and Aussie Mix, bursting with personality and charm. He’s not just any pup; he’s a smart, affectionate superstar who adores people and actively seeks out love and attention. The moment you walk into the room, it’s as if you’ve won the lottery — Ian is right there, tail wagging, ready to shower you with affection! Ian is not just a pretty face. With his brilliant mind, he’s already mastered sit, stay, and down, and he’s eager to keep learning new tricks! 🎓 He thrives on mental and physical challenges, so if you're the kind of home that loves to play fetch and engage in some friendly banter with a furry friend, then look no further! His joyful energy and enthusiasm make him a perfect companion for those who enjoy an active lifestyle. Now, let’s talk walks! Ian is learning to walk on a leash, but he has a bit of a pull. So, continuing leash training is essential — consider it a journey of teamwork and bonding! 🚶‍♂️ Plus, he’s still getting familiar with his crate; no worries, though — a few treats do the trick to help him feel welcome inside. When it comes to other doggy pals, slow introductions are the name of the game. Ian loves to romp around with other dogs but would thrive best with a more submissive playmate who can match his spirited demeanor. Remember, he’s a bundle of energy, so keeping an eye on stress signals in multi-dog environments is crucial! As for the little ones, Ian is great with kids but would do best in a home with children aged 12 and up, where his big heart and boisterous spirit can shine without worry. So, if you're searching for a loyal companion who can bring both love and liveliness into your life, Ian is your guy! He’s on the lookout for a patient and active family who can provide him with plenty of love, exercise, and understanding as he learns to grow and thrive. Don’t let this incredible pup wait any longer! Apply to adopt Ian through the Buddy App today and give him the loving home he deserves! 📲💖
