Cody is such a sweetheart! She’s a gentle, fun, and playful girl who just needs a little time to settle into a new environment. Once she feels comfortable, her personality really comes out and she is so much fun to have around. She’s house-trained and has settled into our home really well. She’s affectionate with her people, gets adorably excited when you come home, and has a great balance of being happy to relax at home and ready to have fun when it’s time to go out. Cody is also very treat-motivated and learns incredibly quickly. She listens well and can pick up new things with just a few minutes of training. She really is a total sweetheart and has been such a fun dog to get to know. Cody is approximately 10y 9m 21d old and is fully grown at 45 pounds. They are microchipped and up to date on all age-appropriate medical care. Their breed is unknown as we have not had a DNA test done. Although our dogs are listed as unknown breed, buildings with specific dog restrictions typically enforce their rules based on what breeds a dog appears to resemble. It's always important to keep that in mind and know your building's policies before adopting a dog. This dog is available for adoption through Muddy Paws Rescue. If you're interested in adopting, the first thing you should do is begin the registration process at www.muddypawsrescue.org. If you are already a registered adopter with Muddy Paws Rescue, please email us at adoptionmeetings@muddypawsrescue.org.

Border Collie

🧠 Temperament

She’s a gentle, fun, and playful girl who just needs a little time to settle into a new environment. Widely considered the most intelligent breed, and that is a demand rather than a convenience.

🎾 Exercise

Very high — 90+ minutes plus daily mental work or a dog sport.

✂️ Grooming

Medium double coat, brush a few times a week.

🏙️ In a NYC apartment

It's always important to keep that in mind and know your building's policies before adopting a dog. A difficult apartment fit unless you are committed to serious daily activity.
