Dumaine

Meet Dumaine!<br/><br/>Dumaine is a 4-year-old Border Collie/Australian Shepherd mix with a resilient spirit and so much love to give.<br/><br/>When we found him, he was living in an overgrown outdoor pen with almost no shelter from the summer heat except for a crumbling dog house. He had no water until a kind neighbor noticed his situation and brought him some. Sadly, the neglect was only part of his story.<br/><br/>Dumaine was also caught in the middle of a dangerous domestic situation where the dogs were paying the price for the chaos around them. There was no way to know how much longer he would have been safe, so we stepped in as quickly as we could.<br/><br/>Today, Dumaine is finally safe—and his true personality is beginning to shine.<br/><br/>Because of everything he's been through, he may be a little shy when meeting new people. Give him a little patience, though, and you'll quickly discover a sweet, affectionate dog who is thrilled to be your best friend. He loves spending time with his people, is eager to please, and is learning new things every day.<br/><br/>Dumaine is doing well on leash, enjoys playing with other dogs, and is already picking up basic commands. Like many Border Collie and Australian Shepherd mixes, he's intelligent and benefits from continued training and mental enrichment.<br/><br/>One important thing to know about Dumaine is that he's an accomplished escape artist. His new family will need to supervise him closely anytime he's outdoors and keep him on a leash.<br/><br/>Dumaine also has a beautiful long, double coat that will require regular brushing and routine grooming to keep him healthy and comfortable.<br/><br/>After everything he's endured, Dumaine deserves a family that will provide the love, stability, and security he's been missing. In return, he'll reward them with unwavering loyalty, endless affection, and a lifelong best friend. Could that be you?
