Meet Loup-Garou!

Loup-Garou is a 7-month-old neutered male Border Collie mix weighing approximately 40 pounds. If you're looking for a hiking buddy and adventure partner, Loup is ready to be your new best friend! Whether it's hopping in the car for a mountain hike, exploring wooded trails, or running through open fields, he's happiest when he's out discovering the world with his people.

Loup continues to make great progress with his leash manners and does especially well on wooded trails using a 50-foot long line. His oversized ears are impossible to miss—and they'll have him running your way the moment you reach for the treat bag!

This smart young pup comes pre-programmed with "sit" and "down" and is already building an impressive foundation for future training. He's currently working on his "leave it" cue with treats on the floor and patiently waits for permission before eating his meals.
When it's time to entertain himself, Loup has plenty of hobbies. He loves chasing a soccer ball, tossing his toys into the air, chewing sticks, and has developed quite the reputation as a determined bug hunter. Watching him patiently stalk an ant or June bug is guaranteed to make you smile.

Loup is also excellent at relaxing when it's time to wind down. He happily settles into his crate or playpen for naps and quiet time and sleeps through the night without any issues.

With a consistent bathroom routine, Loup is doing very well with house training. Accidents are uncommon and typically only happen if he isn't given a chance to go outside after meals or exciting events like visitors or energetic play sessions.

As a social butterfly, Loup absolutely loves playing with other energetic dogs who enjoy chasing, wrestling, and rough-and-tumble games. He's still learning to recognize when another dog isn't interested in playing, so continued guidance is important. A home with another playful dog could be an excellent match, and regular opportunities for dog playdates or daycare would help keep him happy and fulfilled.

Like many Border Collie mixes, Loup has strong herding instincts and would do best in a home without young children.

Because he's still a young, enthusiastic puppy, Loup will thrive with an active family committed to helping him learn how to settle and relax after playtime. Once he's had his exercise and understands it's time to unwind, he's more than happy to curl up at your feet and soak up all the affection.

Loup is an affectionate, intelligent, and endlessly entertaining companion who is ready to find an active home where he can continue learning, exploring, and loving life. For the right person or family, he'll be an incredible adventure partner and loyal best friend.
