Shep's Story

Shep is a 2-year-old Border Collie mix weighing about 40 pounds, currently living it up in foster care in Presidio. Shep is a well-mannered companion who gets along with just about everyone he meets—two-legged and four-legged alike. He’s incredibly people-oriented and happiest when he’s close to his person. Expect a loyal shadow—Shep will happily follow you from room to room (yes, even to the bathroom!) and keep you company throughout the day. His foster says he has the funniest habit of staring lovingly at you with a goofy grin that’s guaranteed to make you laugh.<br/><br/>True to his Border Collie roots, Shep is very smart and learns quickly. He picked up his name in no time and enjoys training and engagement. While he can relax and enjoy downtime, he really shines when he gets to be active and involved. He would thrive with an adopter who enjoys adventures like hiking, exploring, or spending time near the water. Shep is mostly quiet in the home and makes a wonderful companion. His foster says there hasn’t been a single day he hasn’t brought laughter to the house. One of his most charming quirks is his “shy smile”. When he gets excited or a little flustered, he flashes an awkward, toothy grin and wiggles his whole body side to side. It’s impossible not to smile back.<br/><br/>Shep is building his comfort with crate time and is making progress with positive reinforcement. He does best having his own area where he doesn’t have to share mealtime space. With continued guidance, he will continue to blossom into an even more amazing companion.
