Rex is a one-year-old, 38lb Border Collie who brings the full package: smarts, energy, affection, and an infectious enthusiasm for absolutely everything. True to his breed, Rex is endlessly curious and deeply people-oriented, forming strong bonds quickly and making it very clear that he wants to be involved in whatever you're doing at all times. He loves every human he meets and gets along beautifully with dogs of all sizes, making him an easy fit socially wherever he goes. He already knows how to sit for a treat and responds wonderfully to positive reinforcement, and with a mind as sharp as his, he'll pick up new skills fast. He seems to genuinely believe that every single moment in life is a potential play session, and it's honestly hard to argue with that philosophy. Rex is a high-energy boy who needs an adopter ready to match his pace, and he will reward that commitment with loyalty and love in spades. His ideal day involves multiple walks, a couple of trips to the dog park, training games, and plenty of fetch - and ideally a canine sibling to burn off some of that glorious Border Collie zeal with. He's young and still working on excitement management, mouthing during play, and learning household boundaries, so a consistent routine and patient guidance will go a long way. He can adapt to apartment living if his exercise and enrichment needs are genuinely met, though more space never hurts. For an active adopter who loves training, outdoor adventures, and a dog who fills every room with life and laughter, Rex is absolutely your guy.
