Meet Denny: Your Future Best Friend and Couch Companion! Are you searching for a gentle soul to share quiet moments and cozy evenings with? Meet Denny, a beautiful 3-year-old Border Collie mix with a heart full of love and a sweet, calm spirit. About Denny Denny is a medium-sized girl with the classic, intelligent eyes of a Border Collie. At three years old, she has moved past the puppy stage and is ready to settle into a loving home where she can truly blossom. Her shy nature means she might take a little time to warm up, but once she does, she'll be your most loyal and affectionate friend. Personality & Temperament Denny is the definition of a gentle companion. She's a sweet, quiet dog who prefers a calm environment. She is making great progress with her basic training and is already house-trained, making her transition into a new home that much smoother. One of Denny's best qualities is her ability to get along with everyone. She loves the company of other dogs and is also cat-friendly, making her an easy addition to a home with existing pets. Her favorite activity is simply being near her people, and she would be overjoyed to find someone looking for the perfect couch companion to cuddle with after a long day. Ideal Home Denny would thrive in a patient and understanding home that can give her the time she needs to come out of her shell. She is looking for a person or family who wants a loving, low-key friend to share their life with. Because of her shy personality, a calm household would be the best fit for her. If you’re ready to open your heart to a wonderfully sweet and gentle dog, Denny is waiting to meet you. She promises to repay your kindness with endless affection and quiet companionship.
