About Hamish

Meet Hamish! 🐾 Hamish is an energetic 6-month-old Rough Collie puppy eager to find his forever family. He’s a sociable pup who enjoys playing and is always ready for an adventure. Hamish walks nicely on a leash and knows basic commands like sit and stay; he adores car rides too. Being a young puppy, he’s still learning his manners and can be a bit of a jumper. He'll thrive with continued training, patience, and plenty of activities to channel his energy. While he enjoys the company of dogs, careful introductions are key, as he can be a bit rough with cats and smaller dogs. Though he hasn’t interacted with children yet, he loves the adults he meets and may do well with respectful, dog-savvy kids. Hamish’s playful spirit means he likes to chew and explore, sometimes getting into mischief. He’s a fun-loving, smart Collie who needs a family committed to guiding him into the wonderful adult dog he is destined to become. ❤️ What are you waiting for? Apply today!
