About Haven Courtesy Listing

Meet Haven, a charming dog ready to enjoy the simple pleasures of life. After years of adventure, she’s all about cozying up in soft spots, savoring tasty snacks, leisurely strolls, and embracing the joys of senior living. Rather than seeking a high-energy lifestyle, she’s looking for someone who appreciates the art of relaxation and quiet companionship. At about 9 years old and weighing 40 pounds, Haven walks well on a leash and is well-behaved at home. She enjoys the company of other dogs but prefers a laid-back atmosphere where each can do their own thing. Haven has a special fondness for men, and her demeanor brightens up whenever they enter the room. She thrives in a quiet home with a fenced yard, ideal for low-key socializing rather than a bustling environment. If you’re looking for a loyal couch companion who shares your love for relaxation, Haven is the one for you. She is well-adjusted, spayed, up to date on vaccinations, dewormed, microchipped, and heartworm negative. Haven is being fostered by the Atlantic Region Central Border Collie Rescue (ARCBCR). This sweet girl is ready to spend her golden years comfortable, loved, and just a little spoiled. Ready to meet her? Click apply to start the adoption process.
