About Tally

Meet Tally! Tally is a sweet and playful young lady, believed to be a Border Collie mix. At 34 pounds, her soft coat matches her happy, bouncy personality. She adores being around people and is always ready for some affection. You'll find her cuddling next to you on the couch or even climbing into your lap. This energetic girl loves to jump around and seeks out fun activities. Once she settles down, her energy becomes more moderate, making her ideal for a variety of engagements like obedience training, hikes, or agility courses. Though Tally has done great with other dogs, she's still learning social boundaries, especially with more confident canines. She’s also lived well with cats, showing promise of coexisting nicely if introduced correctly. House-trained and crate-trained, Tally settles quietly in her crate when alone. While her leash skills need some work, she’s eager to learn and would benefit from proper training. Her curiosity may make her a flight risk if doors are left open, so a bit of diligence is necessary. Tally embodies affection, fun, and smarts. She's ready to be part of a loving, active family that can keep her engaged. What are you waiting for? Apply today!
