⚠️ MARL remains at critical capacity as we continue receiving an overwhelming number of animals each week.

Bo is a 2-3-year-old Collie/Aussie mix who has been waiting for a home since June 23. This handsome boy is looking for an active family that understands herding breeds. Collies and Australian Shepherds are intelligent, athletic dogs that thrive when given a job to do. They need regular exercise, mental stimulation, companionship, and consistent structure, not just a backyard. Their beautiful coats also require routine brushing to prevent matting and manage shedding. A fenced yard is required for Bo, though exceptions may be made for exceptionally strong applications. Breed experience is a plus. His adoption fee is $130 and includes neuter surgery, vaccinations, and a microchip. Collie and Aussie owners, what’s one thing you wish more people knew before bringing a herding breed home?

🚨 APPLICATIONS ARE FIRST COME, FIRST APPROVED. 🚨
