Meet Pongo, a sweet, intelligent 10-year-old Border Collie mix with so much love to give! Weighing approximately 60 pounds, this lovely girl enjoys walks, stuffed animals, chew toys, and spending time with her favorite people. She's food-motivated, knows several commands, and is comfortable relaxing at home alone. Pongo does well with older children and is generally neutral around other dogs and cats. She would love a home with a spacious yard or even a farm where she can enjoy the outdoors and accompany her family on daily adventures. Easygoing and affectionate, Pongo is ready to bring joy to her next chapter.
