🐾 Meggie, our delightful foster from Border Collie Save and Rescue, stole our hearts when she arrived on 9/24/2023! Standing at 17 inches and weighing 26 pounds, this two-year-old dynamo's rescue journey began with a surrender by her elderly breeder in Louisiana.

🌟 After being spayed and completing her final heartworm treatment, Meggie receives her clean bill of health on 1/28/2024. With an adaptable personality that shines in various roles – from being a perfect single or multi-dog companion to a sport prospect, lap cuddler, and travel partner – Meggie is the ultimate canine package.

🐶 Friendly with everyone, Meggie excels in learning, showcasing her intelligence and athleticism. She's potty trained with excellent leash skills and, though initially slow to warm up to other dogs, now harmoniously coexists with our three resident pups. Meggie's mild separation anxiety is easily managed with chew toys and dog-appeasing pheromones, creating a comfortable environment in her plastic Ruffland crate.

🌈 With a high drive for toys, tug, and food, Meggie is a star in positive reinforcement training, and her impeccable behavior makes her the perfect lunch date at restaurants. Her zest for life is apparent in her joyful participation in home play, river hikes, neighborhood strolls, and fun pub hopping.
