Bodhi has a pretty full fall schedule. Stay home. Watch a movie. Keep someone’s lap warm. Enjoy a game of chase in the fenced yard. Decline all Halloween party invitations. Nothing too ambitious.

She’s is a 3-year-old Border Collie mix who takes a little time to warm up, but once you’re friends, expect a very affectionate and dedicated shadow. Bodhi is low-maintenance, has impeccable house manners, and enjoys the company of other dogs. She’d do best in a quiet home with older kids. Cats are still an unknown.

If Bodhi sounds like a good fit for your home, why not apply to meet her?
