Dove spent the start of his life in a world that felt tight and limiting, but now at one year old, he’s moving forward—stretching out, gaining confidence every day. He weighs in at 35 pounds and has the classic black and white markings and medium coat of a border collie mix. Dove is gentle in new situations, preferring to scope things out before landing at your side, and once he trusts you, he’ll stick close, loyal and loving. He already knows sit and kennel, and is making good progress on house, crate, and leash training. This dog picks things up fast—he’s very smart—and just needs a patient hand to help him keep learning. Dove is happiest around other playful dogs and absolutely needs another friendly canine companion in the home to feel secure and thrive. He does best in homes with older kids (12+), as little kids are a bit too chaotic for his taste. Dove is a pro cuddler with a goofy, funny personality that comes out once he’s settled. He needs a fenced yard for zoomies or an adopter who’s ready for daily adventures. If you’re looking for a dog that grows alongside you and brings both humor and heart, Dove fits the bill.
