About Todd

Todd is a two-year-old Border Collie mix who meets every person with an enthusiastic greeting. He’s a bundle of energy who never holds back, zooming around and showing equal passion for adventure and companionship. Todd thrives on outdoor play, rolling in the grass, and running to his heart’s content. He connects quickly with other dogs and brings a lively, joyful spirit to every interaction, so a home with another active dog would likely be a great fit. A fenced-in yard would give him extra room to burn off steam. Despite his high energy, Todd loves to settle in for daily snuggles and has a sweet side that balances his playful nature. His foster family reports he’s eager to please and highly treat-motivated—he already knows “sit” and “down,” and is steadily improving his leash manners. Plus, he’s house trained. With his classic black-and-white markings and loyal personality, Todd promises a lot of fun and affection for his future family. Ready to meet your new best friend? Apply now!
