About Archie

Meet Archie! This friendly Border Collie is around 9 months to a year old and has already shown incredible resilience. Archie arrived in rough shape, emaciated and with a poorly groomed coat, but he has been nothing but loving. He’s friendly with everyone—people, dogs of all sizes, and even cats. He shares his space happily with older cats and playful kittens alike. Archie seems to be house trained, having had no accidents, and he knows what a crate is, although he’s much happier now in a comfortable environment. His love for food makes him easy to train, and he’s gaining weight well every day. One quirk: he enjoys car rides but can whine a bit—nothing that a gentle redirection doesn’t fix. Archie needs to gain a bit more weight and will be neutered soon, along with receiving his second vaccinations. He’s looking for a loving family, preferably one with kids, who will spoil him as he deserves. This affectionate boy is ready to give love in return and be part of a warm home. Could you be Archie's happily ever after?
