Hi! My name is Panda!  I am a border collie/boxer mix and I am about a year old.  I have lots of energy!  I want to play, all the time!  I love playing fetch and tug-of-war with my canine foster siblings and with my human foster siblings. I am friendly with all dogs and with all people. I would do best in a home with an energetic dog friend to play with.  My foster family doesn't include cats so I am not sure how I would react to them.  My foster mom thinks I would likely try to play with them like I do my canine foster siblings.  I like to give my foster family lots of kisses and I also like to bring them toys, sticks, or any other cool thing I find! Even with all my energy, I still like to snuggle with my foster parents and siblings any chance I can get.  I know a few commands such as sit, down, and shake.  I am fully potty trained and mostly crate trained.   I love to take walks with both my foster mom and dad.  I tend to pull so my foster mom thinks I do best with a gentle leader.  My foster mom and dad are teaching me not to jump on people either when I first meet them or when they are playing with me.  Although I do well with all my foster mom's human kids, my foster mom recommends I live in a home with older kids - like 12 or older. I require a fenced in yard for my forever home.  If you think I'm a good fit for your family, please submit an application and my foster mom will contact you soon!
