About Socket

Meet Socket, one of the spirited pups from our workshop crew! She's a 5-month-old female Border Collie mix, currently weighing between 25 and 35 pounds. Socket is an active little one who revels in herding anything that moves, including kids, so she’ll thrive in a home with children older than toddler age. Expect to put in some work with her on leash walking and basic training concepts since she's still a baby and ready to learn. While she’s playful and friendly, Socket would do best in a home with a fenced yard or an active lifestyle to help burn off her energy. Don't miss your chance to welcome this affectionate bundle of joy into your home!
