Meet Tuxedo! Tuxedo is a four-year-old Border Collie mix in Nashville, TN, who was born wearing a sharp black-and-white suit and has the mind to match. He’s not a dog for everyone—he prefers to observe and assess new faces before letting them in. Give him space, respect his process, and he’ll show you just how engaged and affectionate he can be once you’re in his circle. This is a dog who doesn’t miss a thing. If you drop your keys at the door every day at 5, he’ll know it by day three. Tuxedo is quick to learn, always thinking, and happiest with a purpose. He wants consistency and clear expectations, so he needs someone willing to provide structure, boundaries, and interesting work without fuss. He is high energy, athletic, and eager to join in any adventure. If you want calm, you should keep looking—Tuxedo will bounce, jog, and generally insert himself wherever there’s action. Personal space? For him, that’s open to negotiation. Tuxedo needs a fenced yard and a person willing to put in effort up front for a rock-solid friend on the other side. He’s ideal for hiking, exploring, and anyone who enjoys smart, physical dogs who don’t want to sit still all day. Tuxedo isn’t one for crowded households: he’s selective with other dogs, far too interested in cats, and strongly prefers to be an only pet. Kids over 12 are fine, but young children and other animals aren’t a match. If you’re ready for a clever, athletic companion who’ll keep you moving and thinking, you might have just found the right dog. What are you waiting for? Apply today!
