About Rory

Rory is a 10-month-old female German Shepherd/Border Collie mix who is as smart as she is sweet! She was rescued from an unsafe, abandoned trailer with her littermates and mother. Now that she's safe and loved, Rory is blossoming into a happy, playful pup. She's a curious and intelligent girl, always eager to explore and learn. Rory loves to play and can sometimes be a bit messy, especially with her food! She's a big snuggler and remembers the comfort of being held and rocked when she was a tiny puppy. Rory is growing fast and will likely be a large and strong dog, so she's looking for a home that can accommodate her size.

Ideal Home

Rory would thrive in a home with other dogs who can play with her and show her the ropes. Older children may be suitable if the home has experience with large, energetic breeds, as Rory is still learning to control her size and strength. She needs a home where she won't be left alone for long periods and has a private yard to play in. Patience, time, and consistent training are essential for raising a well-behaved puppy.

Ongoing Health

Rory is a healthy young puppy.

Training & Support

Rory is a smart and capable puppy who will benefit from consistent training and socialization. She is still learning her manners and how to manage her size and strength, so patience and positive reinforcement will be key.
