Sheena Border Collie Mix Howell, NJ

Sheena is a 2.5 years smooth coated border collie/herding mix breed. 26 pounds, Sheena is small in size but big in power, energy and personality! She is as smart as she is beautiful. Sheena would do well as the only dog, or could live with another fun dog companion to play with.

Sheena is housebroken, crate trained, rides well in the car, walks well on leash, sleeps quietly in her crate at night. She is affectionate and loyal and loves her person. Sheena craves a very close bond and wants to please. She settles well in the house, despite her high energy level, and is a very good work from home companion. She settles next to my desk and will stay there all day if allowed.

Sheena takes a bit of time to get used to other dogs, but she loves to play with other dogs. She loves toys and will play with a toy with you or on her own.

Living on the farm is a very large barn cat. Sheena gets along well with George and they are friends. There are no cats in the house.

Sheena is nervous at the vet but does fine if pre-medicated. She has been to the vet multiple times with her foster and while Sheena is fearful, she is able to control her emotions.
Sheena takes 1 fluoxetine (prozac) daily to help keep her calm. Cost is about 38 cents per day and this has greatly helped her to stay grounded. It’s possible she could be weaned off the medication over time, but I have found that it makes her much happier.

Sheena is a great dog with so much potential!
She will give you her full heart and will always try to do her best for you.
Sheena is currently located near Rochester, NY.
