Fig | 1-year-old Border Collie/Husky | 37 lbs of Curious, Prancing Puppy Joy

Fig is an affectionate, playful 37 pound, one-year-old Border Collie/Husky mix who loves everyone he meets—dogs, kids (10+), and new people alike. He’s always up for a game of fetch, a good walk, or a car ride. When he’s had his exercise (around 45–60 minutes a day), he’s content to curl up and relax with his humans.

He’s also quite the character—he prances around when he’s excited, takes treats gently, and is eager to please. He loves praise and affection and is steadily gaining confidence in his foster home.

Training & House Manners
Fig is almost fully house-trained. He previously used training pads, so rugs were a little confusing at first, but with consistency and a potty schedule, he’s doing great—no accidents by day 3! He’ll stand by the door when he needs to go out and is learning to use the doggie door on his own.

Fig already knows basic commands like sit, come, off, and no, and he’s working hard on learning not to jump up when greeting people. He’s about halfway there and improving every day.

Activity Needs
As a Border Collie/Husky mix, Fig has a high energy level and will thrive with daily exercise and mental stimulation. He loves to fetch balls and sticks, chew bones, and go on long walks.

Ideal Home - Fig will do best in a home with:

     A house with a decent-sized fenced yard to run and play   

     An active person or family ready to give him plenty of exercise   

     Another dog buddy would be a huge plus   

     A household where he won’t be left alone all day (not suited for long hours in a kennel)   

     Owners ready to keep up with training and provide the structure he needs 

If you’re looking for a smart, sweet, and active companion who will reward you with endless love, Fig is ready to find his forever home.
