Buoy

Meet Buoy!

A delightful 8-year-old Border Collie originating from Liberty, MO, whose personality mirrors the charm of her hometown! Buoy's playful nature shines brightest in the presence of balls or squeaky toys, reveling in games of fetch and strolls through the neighborhood.

While Buoy may initially seem apprehensive, beneath that facade lies a heart of gold waiting to be embraced. Her natural herding instincts occasionally surface, unintentionally creating a slightly tense atmosphere as she gathers her loved ones around. Therefore, she would be most comfortable in a home without small children.

Buoy's intelligence shines through her mastery of various commands, showcasing her prowess in the world of canine academia. However, her interactions with others may sometimes be tinged with anxiety, highlighting her need for a supportive environment where she can truly flourish.

On the health front, Buoy is fully vaccinated, spayed, and house-trained. With a balanced energy level, she effortlessly blends playfulness with serene companionship, bringing endless joy and solace to her human family!

In essence, Buoy transcends the role of a mere pet; she's a cherished member of the family, with her endearing quirks and steadfast loyalty. With the right environment and a touch of understanding, she pledges to infuse boundless love and companionship into any home fortunate enough to welcome her!
