About Humphrey

Humphrey is a wonderful mix of Boxer and Border Collie, blending playfulness with a laid-back demeanor. He enjoys romping around the yard and is always up for some quality lounging time with his favorite people. This friendly dog sleeps soundly at night and has a strong food motivation, making him a great eater. Humphrey does well with female dogs and is compatible with older children, specifically those aged 10 and above. However, he does not get along with male dogs, cats, or birds, so a quieter environment without these companions is best for him. This loving companion has been with his current owner for eight years after being a foster failure. Now, due to an upcoming move, his owner is seeking a new home for him where he can continue to thrive. She plans to keep him until he finds a new family and will provide his bed, toys, dishes, food, and medical records to ensure a smooth transition.
