Story
Meet Inti!
A radiant three-and-a-half-year-old Border Collie currently in Salida, CO, whose spirit is as expansive as the mountain trails she adores. Wrapped in a striking black and white coat and weighing about 35 pounds, this thoughtful and athletic girl brings together heart, intelligence, and a deep love for her people in a truly special way!
Inti is the kind of companion who will eagerly race beside you on a mountain bike, bound joyfully across hiking trails, or splash happily during a swim, then curl up close for a cozy evening of affection. Fetch and frisbee are her absolute favorites, and her enthusiasm is contagious! She also knows an impressive list of commands like sit, shake, spin, and even weaving through your legs, showing off her clever and eager-to-learn nature.
What truly sets Inti apart is how deeply she connects with her people, often leaning in for long cuddle sessions and watching your every move with bright, attentive eyes, always ready to join in whatever you are doing. Beneath her adventurous side, she is incredibly affectionate and tuned in to her trusted humans. She thrives with consistency, daily activity, and meaningful connection. When her world feels steady and secure, her loving personality shines. She is compatible with other dogs and even enjoys the company of cats, making her a wonderful companion in the right setting.
Inti would flourish in a caring environment with an active, grounded guardian or a small, close-knit household. She can feel unsure around unfamiliar people and, in those moments, may nip when she is feeling protective or uncomfortable. She has nipped in the past, so she benefits from thoughtful introductions, positive reinforcement training, and a lifestyle with fewer unexpected visitors. Inti would be most suitable for a calm home without young children, where she can feel safe and understood. With guidance, patience, and understanding, she continues to grow into her best self.
Healthy, spayed, house-trained, and up to date on vaccinations, Inti is ready for her next chapter filled with adventure, trust, and love. She will happily nap when left alone and eagerly greet you when it is time to play again.
If you are someone who finds joy in the outdoors and values a deeply connected bond, Inti is ready to share every step, trail, and quiet moment with you! Could Inti be the loyal adventure partner you have been searching for? To learn more or begin the adoption journey, please reach out at adopt@joyfulpets.com.
