Story
Meet Howie, a young adult hound with a big personality and an even bigger voice! As a former stray, Howie is ready to trade in his wandering days for a life full of love, adventure, and companionship. True to his hound nature, Howie isn’t shy about speaking his mind—he’ll happily “chat” with you and let you know exactly how he’s feeling. He’s a playful, energetic guy who would make an amazing adventure buddy, whether it’s long walks, hikes, or exploring new places together. Howie is still learning the ropes when it comes to leash skills and basic manners, so he’ll benefit from a patient adopter who’s willing to guide him and help him become the best version of himself. With a little structure and consistency, this smart and eager pup will shine.

Story
Keiko is a very sweet and beautiful boy who we think is a flat coated Border Collie mix. He's just about 1 year old and fully grown at 36 pounds which makes him the perfect medium sized pup. His shiny black coat is beautiful and wavy and he has the cutest white socks and tail. Keiko has a very sweet and gentle personality and can be a little shy when he first meets people but warms up quickly. He loves playing with other dogs and getting belly rubs and kisses from his Foster family. He gets along great with everyone he meets ...just needs a slow and gentle intro so he can smell you and maybe get a treat. We also tested him with cats and he did great! Ask to see the video of his cat test so you can see how sweet he is! Once he knows you...he will be your best friend. He has a low-medium energy level so settles nicely after playing and loves quiet time relaxing on the couch or in his doggie bed. He loves going for walks in the neighborhood and rides in the car too. We think he'll thrive with a doggie sibling to play with and show him the ropes. We recommend kiddos be 8+ years because toddlers may have a higher level of energy than he'd enjoy. He doesn't have an aggressive bone in his body but he's a more mellow and quiet guy. Keiko is healthy, up to date on all his vaccinations, house-trained and crate-trained so he's so ready to find his forever family. He's living with a lovely Foster family in Eastchester (south Westchester County) so reach out to Long Road Home Rescue (lrhrescue@gmail.com or 917-538-1540) to get lots more info and pics of this sweet boy and make plans to go meet him!
