Meet Scott, a smart and affectionate 3-month-old Border Collie mix with a handsome black-and-white coat and a big personality. He loves tug-of-war, stuffed toys, treats, exploring, cuddling, and spending time with his people. Scott is playful and energetic but settles happily for naps after playtime.

Scott is friendly with everyone he meets, does well with other dogs, and adjusts nicely to new environments, places, and sounds. He is already learning to sit and responds well to a consistent routine. He sleeps through the night in his crate after settling down and is comfortable relaxing on a dog bed or near his people.

Scott is still working on potty training, leash manners, and puppy play manners while teething. Continued practice, appropriate chew toys, redirection, positive reinforcement, and mental enrichment will help him thrive.

Ideal Home

Scott would love an active, loving family ready for the fun and responsibility of raising a puppy. He needs a consistent routine, plenty of playtime, positive training, affection, and inclusion in everyday life. Another friendly dog could be a wonderful companion. As a Border Collie mix, he will likely enjoy physical exercise and mental enrichment as he grows.

Ongoing Health

The adoption fee includes a microchip registered to 24 Pet Watch, DHPP, Bordetella, leptospirosis, and rabies vaccines; a 4DX heartworm test at 7 months of age or older; general wellness care including deworming, heartworm prevention, and flea and tick prevention; and spay/neuter through a partner veterinarian as scheduled by the rescue. Breed and age are estimates based on veterinary advice, shelter records, physical appearance, and information from previous owners and cannot be guaranteed unless the puppy was born in the rescue's care.

Training & Support

Scott is learning to sit, crate routine, potty training, leash manners, and appropriate puppy play. He benefits from consistent routines, positive reinforcement, redirection, and suitable chew toys.
