About Havana

Hi, I’m Havana! But my close friends (ahem… everyone) call me Panda.

I’m what you’d call the total package: beautiful, brainy, ball-obsessed, and just the right amount of quirky. I’m part border collie, which means I’ve got a thinker’s mind and an athlete’s heart—I love to go for walks, play fetch like a pro, and herd my humans gently down the stairs with my nose when I feel it’s time to move things along. You’re welcome.

I live for time outside—walks in the park, games of fetch in the yard, even a splash in the water. I’m an active girl, but when the fun is done, I settle down like a champ. I’m the kind of pup who knows how to chill—especially if there’s a soft bed or a human lap involved.

When it comes to other dogs, I do well, especially with polite canine friends. And cats? I don’t have any interest in chasing them—so feline friends are fine by me. I do bark at strangers sometimes, especially when they pop out of their cars or homes like surprise guests on a game show. But with some training (clickers help!) I’ve come a long way and keep getting better every day.

Inside the house, I’m house-trained, crate-trained, and quiet. I do have a knack for spotting unattended snacks (I am a counter surfer and a bit of a garbage adventurer), but if you keep things tidy, I keep things classy.

I’d do best in a home with a yard where I can run, chase my ball, and show off my speed. I’d love a family with older kids and maybe a dog buddy to play with. I’m learning to be more confident in new places, so calm, quiet adoption events are more my speed right now.

Oh, and one more thing: I sleep through the night like a dream. Literally. Probably about chasing tennis balls.

So, if you’re looking for a sporty, sweet, and slightly silly best friend who will make you laugh, keep you moving, and then curl up next to you when the day is done—I’m your girl.

Love,
Havana (Panda)

Havana was born approximately August 2017 and is a medium sized dog.
