Whether I’m chasing toys, playing with my dog friends, or popping over for kisses, I live life all-in. I love being part of the action and I’ve never met a moment I didn’t want to join. I’m smart, curious, and already showing off that classic Border Collie spark — which means I thrive when my brain and body are both engaged. Give me love, guidance, and a little structure, and I’ll be your most devoted teammate. ​ Best Qualities: • Confident, playful, and full of joy • Smart and eager to learn • Great with kids and other dogs • Athletic energy with a sweet, affectionate side • A total heart-stealer with a winning smile ​ My Ideal Match: • An active family or individual who enjoys engagement and fun • Humans excited to train, play, and grow together • A home that loves a dog with personality and drive • Someone ready for a lifelong adventure buddy ​ Deal Breakers: • Not for someone wanting a low-energy puppy • Needs mental stimulation and regular activity • Looking for commitment — no half-hearted matches ​ Fun Fact: I don’t just join the fun — I lead it. ​ This Valentine’s season, Serena isn’t waiting on the sidelines.
