Sven is a border collie mix who is affectionate, playful and high-energy.He will make a wonderful dog for a loving family who will give him the time and attention he deserves.Sven gets along well with children and dogs.Sven got to spend a couple of days in a home and this is what they had to say: Sven is a border (border/collie/lab mix) and one of the most well-mannered dogs I have ever met. On walks, he walks right by your side at all times and isn't bothered by other dogs or people. He has not barked once (I honestly don't know if he knows he can). While he came into the shelter as a stray, he has the incredible intelligence to use the restroom outside. Not one accident, even through the nights. As a bonus, I can confirm he is great with storms and does not get fazed by loud noises. If he is hanging out on the floor, he makes sure to do his periodic check-ins. Every 10 minutes, you will see his head pop around the corner to make sure you are good. Interestingly, while I was happy to have him sleep on the bed, he chose to sleep on the couch. It felt like his way of keeping watch for the night. Within minutes of coming home, he was snuggling and cuddling, as he had known me for 10 years. I have never seen a dog adapt that quickly to a new person. Sven loves his toys and likes to show them off to you, very proudly. Ear scratches are his jam, and a belly rub puts him in a trance. Sven can read the room like no other. If you are on your laptop, he lets you be, but the moment you close it, he comes in for a hello. I found it classy with profound respect between himself and his human. Sven is the most impeccably behaved and gentlemanly 4-legged friend I have come across, and I am happy for the lucky person who gives him the home he deserves.
