South and his siblings were abandoned together, but he hasn't let that get him down. He's a 7-month-old Black Labrador Retriever/Border Collie mix, with an all-black coat that's easy to pet. Since settling into his foster home, South has proven both playful and affectionate. He loves laying in laps, resting his head on your shoulder, and seems charmed by the simple pleasures of life: peanut butter Kongs, fuzzy toys, and the new joy of tug-of-war. Not a big barker, South enjoys quiet time in his crate and is just starting to learn the housebreaking routine. He gets along well with kids and other dogs, making him a flexible addition to most families seeking a warm companion. If you want a dog who’s equal parts sweet and playful, South belongs on your shortlist. Ready to meet your new best friend? Apply now!
