Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Hi there, I'm Espresso! I am an approximately 8 month old male Border Collie mix who currently weighs around 30 pounds but still have some growing to do. I'm young and full of energy, always ready to endlessly chase after other foster dogs. I love meeting new people too and will not let myself be ignored. I came in with lots of itchy fleas, but they're history now, and my fur will grow back fluffier than ever! I've been working hard on my house manners and have learned lots in my foster home. I will go in my kennel at night with no problems but I'm still young and eager to learn and grow with you. Adopt me, and I promise to fill your life with joy, laughter, and endless games of fetch!
You're welcome to email my foster home with any questions at julianshumate@gmail.com . To meet or adopt me you must first fill out an application here (please copy and paste the link): https://humanesocietyofwilkes.org/adopt/application/julians. To ensure your application was received please email the foster home. You can expect an email response within a week of applying.
