Meet Shimmer!

The words ‘well-behaved’ and ‘puppy’ rarely go together - but that’s just because you haven’t met Shimmer yet! Well-trained, eager to please, and good on a leash for just a 7-month old, this border collie has it all. An old soul trapped in the body of a young puppy, she has medium energy and loves her daily walk!

Shimmer is learning that life is good, and people are great! This sweet and gentle girl is inquisitive, smart, and great with other dogs, but not cat tested. She also loves kids. It takes her a minute when meeting new people but will very quickly give you her heart and her trust.

Visit The Victoria Humane Society for more information on Shimmer and to see if adoption would be a good fit for you!
