Acorn is a 10-week-old Border Collie mix and a very fast learner! Weighing in at 9 lbs now, he’s already showing how smart and eager to learn he is.He already knows how to sit and is learning to come when called. Acorn thrives on praise and treats, so training is a breeze. He’s going potty outside during the day and keeping his crate clean, though he may still use a pad overnight. He’s also starting to see the crate as his own safe space. He'll give a little whine when he’s ready for cuddles or when he needs a potty break!Acorn is great with other dogs and currently lives with two cats, not paying them much attention. He also does well with children.Acorn is full of playful puppy energy. He loves chew toys, squeaky toys, and a good game of fetch. As a Border Collie mix, he’ll benefit from regular exercise and mental stimulation to keep his sharp mind busy and happy.Acorn would do best in a home where he gets plenty of interaction, guidance, and playtime as he continues to grow and learn. If you’re looking for a smart, sweet, and playful companion, Acorn is ready for you!If you are interested in Acorn, fill out an application at this link to get the ball rolling - https://pethavenmn.org/adopt/adoptable-dogs/dog-adoption-application/The adoption fee is $550.
