About Hamish
Meet Hamish, affectionately known as "Hamish the Ham!" This 5-month-old Border Collie and Great Pyrenees mix has a delightful, goofy grin that can brighten anyone's day. His gentle spirit and curious nature make him an instant favorite. Hamish entertains himself with toys and sticks, but he’s always eager for adventure. Whether it’s neighborhood walks, playtime with other dogs, or car rides—which he loves—he’s ready for it all. He's learned to "load up" and patiently waits for his leash before jumping out, showcasing his polite manners. This charming pup loves people and gets along wonderfully with dogs, cats, and children of all ages, making him a great fit for various family types. His impressive whistle recall and quick learning abilities come from his Border Collie genes, though he keeps his Great Pyrenees independence intact, enjoying some free-thinking. Hamish is still working on a few things like crate and separation anxiety, so a home where someone is often around, possibly with another friendly dog, would be ideal to help build his confidence. His gentle heart and joyful spirit promise a lifetime of companionship. If you’re seeking a loyal friend who adores everyone and is always up for new adventures, Hamish is ready to meet you!
