Very sweet border collie mix who was rescued from a shelter after being found as a stray. Walks great on a leash and is microchipped and up to date on his rabies vaccine. Does great at the dog park. He is quiet and mostly keeps to himself. He loves to sleep and rest but also does great on long walks and exercising outside. He is great staying on his own at home while running errands. Sadly am unable to keep him due to our living situation. We are located in the Central Valley about an hour from the Bay Area.
