Oh my goodness, Beatrix. Cute much? It’s hard to believe she’s even cuter in person! Left behind when her previous people moved away, this approximately 1-year-old Border Collie mix is under 50 lbs (estimated DOB March 2025). She is doing beautifully in foster care, learning all the things a young dog should know (no jumping, for example). While she can be initially shy with new experiences, Border Collies are smart and Beatrix is no exception. This little gal is something special. Here’s what we know so far: She’s a leaner! Once she knows it’s safe, she loooves people and likes to lean in for affection. Go slowly and Beatrix adapts quickly. She enjoys walks and does well on leash. She appears housebroken and hasn’t had any accidents in her foster home or while in her kennel. B also loves toys and snuggles. In fact, if you’re good, she’ll train you how to rub her belly just the way she likes. Our girl is good with dogs and doesn’t seem bothered by cats.
