Zorro is a sweet, affectionate, and playful Border Collie/Golden Retriever mix. He is about 10 months old, and we adopted him from the Henderson Animal Shelter. We also have a 1 1/2 year old American Eskimo. They were introduced slowly, and properly, but he tends to play a little too rough. He does get along with her, and he isn’t directly aggressive, but he has a decent prey drive and he would do well with a larger dog where he can play to his heart’s content. We would love to find Zorro a home with another dog, but he is just as comfortable being the only dog as well.
