FLY NEEDS A FOREVER HOME!!!!
Come meet Fly and other great adoptable dogs this Sunday (11/16) from 12-3 pm at the PetSmart in Falls Church, VA (6100 - A Arlington Blvd, Falls Church, VA 22044)!
Name: Fly Best Guess for Breed: Border collie mix
Best Guess for Age: 1.5 years as of August 2025 SEX: Male
Approximate Weight: 39 lbs
Gets Along With: Other dogs! We haven't seen him with cats or kids but we are happy to discuss integration techniques with any potential adopters!
Currently Living at: DC area foster home.
Fly is Looking For: His forever family! This dog is a herding breed mix, and those dogs can run quite a bit. Fly might need a lot of just that - activity. Mere daily walks and/or time in the yard won't be enough. He is looking for more mental stimulation and enrichment. He told us he would love an opportunity to be one of those sporty dogs who does advanced obedience training, agility, or nose work! But he also wants down time and a cushy dog bed and snuggles after a fun day together!
This awesome pup will be a great addition to an active home. What do you say? Is Fly the one who can keep up with you?
What My Foster Says About Me: Fly continues doing well with me! He is energetic and fun-loving, but well-behaved. He loves meeting people during our walks; he gets especially excited when he sees women and kids. He likes men too and doesn't show any fear or hesitation, but he absolutely lights up when he sees women (he’s a real ladies man). He has also made quite a few dog friends in my neighborhood! His favorite dogs are about his size, like to play and have a lot of energy like him.
I take him to the dog park regularly, where he burns off a lot of his energy. He is definitely a border collie who sometimes tries to herd other dogs that aren’t playing, but we’re working on the engage/disengage game and he's responding pretty well! He's generally great with other dogs, if he gets impatient and his herding instincts kick in, it’s just time for a break.
He likes to stay close to me at home, but as he’s settled in he’s slowly giving me a little more space and trusting that I’m still there even if I’m in another room. He continues being very well behaved at home and has not destroyed anything. He only plays with and chews on his toys.
He's an amazing dog, very smart, very athletic, and incredibly affectionate. He will be a great addition to any active family looking for an adventure buddy.
