About Dani

Dani is a delightful 1-year-old Collie/Aussie mix weighing about 35 lbs, currently thriving in a foster home. She’s spayed and up to date with vaccinations, making her ready for her forever family. This vibrant pup prefers life in a calm suburban setting, far from the hustle of the city. She gets along great with other dogs and currently shares her foster home with two canine companions. Outdoor adventures are where she shines; Dani loves to run, play chase, and dig for treasures like sticks. However, she’s also learned to appreciate her quiet moments, napping like a typical puppy. Dani benefits from structure and exercise. An intermediate-level dog owner is ideal for her, as she will need about 90 minutes of activity daily, plus mental challenges to keep her engaged. She’s house trained and has shown she can adapt well to situations, though she may need reassurance during walks when startled. Dani is gentle around children aged 8 and up but might be a bit rambunctious for younger kids. If you’re looking for an active, clever, and playful companion, Dani might just be the perfect match. Don’t miss the chance to give her the loving home she deserves!
