My story

Quick Facts  Name: Damon Age: Estimated 7 months Gender: Male Neutered: Yes Breed: Border Collie mix Color: Black and white Weight: 12.5 kg Height: 48 cm (to the shoulder when standing on all fours) Health Vaccinations: Up-to-date, including rabies and comprehensive vaccinations. Heartworm Test: Negative (tested in July 2024).   All About MeHello! I’m Damon, a lively and clever Border Collie mix who’s always ready for an adventure. My story began on a tough note—I was found lying weak and dehydrated on the streets. Thankfully, kind people noticed me and brought me to safety, where I was nursed back to health. Since then, I’ve blossomed into a strong, happy pup, and now I’m ready to find a family who’s as enthusiastic about life as I am!   Social SkillsTrue to my Border Collie roots, I’m full of energy and love to play. Whether it’s chasing after toys, playing tug, or running in wide-open spaces, I’m in my element when I get to move and explore. I also enjoy playing with my dog friends, and while I can be a little rambunctious, it’s all in good fun! I’m happiest with buddies who don’t mind my playful style, but I know how to be gentle when the situation calls for it. When it comes to people, I might be a little shy at first—especially around younger children who make sudden moves—but once I get comfortable, I warm up quickly and enjoy gentle pets and attention. I even don’t mind being picked up into a cozy hug! I’ve also been practicing my manners and obedience skills in a training program, where I’m impressing everyone with my intelligence and eagerness to learn.   Energy and ActivitiesMy energy level is pretty high, so outdoor adventures are essential for me to burn off steam. After a good play session or a nice walk, though, I settle down happily and relax. On walks, I can get a bit excited and pull on the leash, but I respond well to gentle guidance. I’m naturally focused on my human, so with a little training, I’m sure I’ll be a great walking buddy.   Training and HabitsAs for my routine, I’m a big fan of outdoor bathroom breaks, and I’m learning about scent marking when in new places—it’s just my way of saying hello! I’m pretty quiet at home and rarely bark, but I might give a little yip if I want something.   Special NotesOverall, I’m looking for an experienced family, ideally one who understands Border Collies or active, intelligent dogs like me. I’ll thrive in a home where I can get plenty of physical exercise and mental stimulation, as well as consistent guidance. With my smarts, boundless energy, and loving personality, I’m eager to be someone’s loyal and playful companion.
