Border Collie/Black lab mix puppy needs home 12 week old Border Collie / Black Lab mix found wandering in the road on US 131. According to the animal shelter in Kalkaska, this is the 3rd puppy found matching this description. He is very friendly, active and brave; will sleep all night in a crate; has adjusted to a collar and leash and walks nicely with encouragement. We are still working on potty training which is obviously a new "skill" for him. He loves to play with our other dogs and they are teaching him about bite inhibition ( those baby teeth are so sharp.) He has received his first puppy shot and is being treated for intestinal parasites. This puppy is available to an approved home. References required. Please call Casey at (231) 587-5101. .
