About Cricket
Meet Cricket, a sweet young Border Collie looking for her forever home! This lively girl, born on October 10, 2025, radiates energy and enthusiasm. Found wandering in a rural area, she now thrives in her foster home, where she's getting the hang of house rules and trusting humans. Cricket stands about 16-17 inches tall and weighs in at a slim 27 lbs, making her quick and agile. She's quite the food lover, which helps keep training engaging. While she’s mastered 'sit' and 'down,' she's still a puppy learning the ropes, so her new family should have patience and an active lifestyle. Cricket enjoys playing with her five foster siblings but would thrive best in a smaller pack or with a calm dog who lets her shine. Though she hasn't shown much interest in the resident cat, she does have a prey drive, especially for squirrels and rabbits, so a fenced yard would be ideal for her. Cricket is not the type to lounge around; she’ll make an excellent adventure buddy for runs and hikes. Her foster mom reports that she’s becoming quite the good co-worker while relaxing during home office hours. Cricket will be spayed prior to adoption and comes vaccinated, ready to find a loving, active home. If you're drawn to an adventurous companion, Cricket could be just the dog for you. Let's get started on the journey together!
