About Wags

Lets make it official, apply to adopt! Wags is a four-month-old Borador—a lively border collie/lab mix—who packs a fearless attitude into his compact frame. Despite being the smallest of his siblings, Wags is brimming with confidence and isn’t shy about showing his bigger brothers who’s in charge. His bold, spunky nature always brings excitement, and he’s often the ringleader of fun and mischief! Wags shines best with someone who values his self-assured, energetic personality and can offer the structure and guidance a growing pup needs. He’s not a suitable choice for homes with children under 12 or with cats, given his strong-willed personality. If you’re searching for a spirited companion with a dash of sass and heaps of charisma, Wags could be the perfect fit for your home. Neutered, up-to-date on vaccinations, microchipped, and on both heartworm and flea prevention, he’s ready to find his forever family. They are waiting with paws crossed! Apply now!
