About Igris

Meet Igris, a young male Border Collie mix who is still adjusting to his new surroundings after a sudden change in his life. Although he's initially a little shy, Igris is an intelligent dog eager for encouragement. With some patience, he will blossom into a great companion. He prefers a home without cats and would thrive with a family committed to helping him build on his training. Igris has high energy levels, both physically and mentally, which means he'll benefit from fun training sessions to channel that enthusiasm. Expect about three days for him to start settling in and around three weeks before he feels comfortable. Building a deep connection with him may take up to three months, but it will be worth the wait. Are you ready to invest in a lasting friendship? Igris is ready for his forever home.
