About Sarah

Sarah brings a whole lot of personality to the table. She's the kind of goofball that turns ordinary moments into something memorable—her antics aim for laughter, never missing the mark. Sarah has a natural talent for her basics, already a pro at "sit" and "stay." Lounging comes just as easy, happily stretching out in her kennel after a good round of silliness. She flips for the words "treat" and "outside"—expect a burst of playful chaos when she hears either. Squeaky toys? The louder the better for this border collie mix. Her signature move: an all-out scratching, noisy celebration when excitement hits. Her tongue is usually hanging out, which only amplifies her charm. Sarah's a social butterfly with dogs of every variety. She isn’t food aggressive, but does prefer her space at mealtime—fair warning for anyone tempted to reach for her dish. She’s not yet house trained and will need some patient guidance. Her "special needs" aren’t specified, but will require an adopter willing to learn about what helps her thrive. Sarah also gets along with children and cats, opening doors for a wide range of families. Make room for a bit of sass and a whole lot of love. Give them the home they have been waiting for.
