About Blondie

Meet Blondie, an energetic and affectionate 3-year-old Border Collie. She’s got a toothy grin that can brighten your day. Full of personality, she wakes with a smile and is always ready to join your adventures. Blondie is incredibly smart, mastering commands like sit, stay, and even how to smile on cue. Her love for agility shows her playful spirit. She gets along well with other dogs and enjoys having canine friends around, though her herding instincts can be a little strong for smaller dogs. While she thrives in a calm environment, too much chaos can stress her out. She’s met people of all ages and warms up quickly once she feels comfortable. Although she is playful with older kids, younger ones may trigger her herding instincts. Blondie should go to a cat-free home, as she loves to chase. This darling girl is fully vetted and ready for her forever home or a foster family that appreciates her goofy nature. She's been returned through no fault of her own, and she's eager to find her next loving chapter. Are you the one for Blondie?
