She didn't know when she rescued me back in December 2023, at 3 months old, that I am a Border Collie and how much exercise I need. I wish we had a yard to play and run in but we do go for walks every day and I go to classes and activities at a nice place in Walpole. I am an anxious, easlily stressed and timid dog, but I am starting to trust humans and I have always loved other dogs but trucks and load noises really scare me.“
