Nyx is the kind of dog who quietly works her way into your heart and never leaves. This almost-3-year-old, 40# Border Collie has the sweetest, most adoring personality. Her tail never stops wagging, especially when she’s near her favorite people... which is exactly where she always wants to be. Nyx is happiest being included in everyday life. Whether she’s lounging on the couch, quietly relaxing in the office while her person works, sitting outside on the patio, or joining you for a leisurely walk, she radiates calm companionship. With a medium energy level with occasional happy bursts of excitement, she’s incredibly easy to live with. Watching Nyx blossom and discover “dog things” has been a pleasure. She’s learning to enjoy adventures, figuring out toys and did great at a quiet restaurant patio. She gains confidence with car rides and new experiences. Around the neighborhood, she meets kids and neighbors, encounters bikes and other traffic, and handles all the activity like a champ. Nyx gets along well with other dogs and cats in her foster home. She’s far more people-focused than dog-focused. She would thrive in almost any loving home as long as she has the opportunity to expand her horizons with continued socialization. She wants daily exercise like neighborhood walks and enjoys cuddles after a fun day. She’s comfortable in a crate, walks nicely on leash, and doesn’t require a fenced yard, though she she would enjoy having one as she figures out it's ok to run and play without coaching (see video). Nyx is a delightful, lovely and happy girl looking for people who share her optimistic view of life and all it has to offer. She deserves a truly special home that is as devoted to her as she will be to them. To know her is to love her! APPLY to adopt Nyx at hoabcr.org/how-to-adopt Nyx is being fostered in Rochester, MN.
