Panda

Gorgeous Panda is a 6-year-old Springer Spaniel / Australian Shepherd with the perfect balance of playful energy and first-date charm. However, unlike gropey first dates he will not come loaded with kisses because he never is without a ball in his mouth, and we mean never!

His obsession with tennis balls is almost pathological, but if you have a good throwing arm, Panda will be your partner in crime. And he’s not particular with balls-any kind will do-tennis, racquet ball, baseballs, if it fits in his mouth, it’s a love-match. Because of his exceptional, Olympic-quality fetching ability we believe he could be a great fit for an outdoor sportsman-bird hunting, small game-this dog will fetch for you like his life depends on it. While he can be easily distracted with this never-ending quest to teach a ball who’s boss, he is equally attentive to his humans, and forms loving bonds easily at day care.

As far as other dogs? His response is “meh,” he can take them or leave them. Small canine playgroups are his vibe but he’d rather have your undivided attention (and more balls).

Panda would thrive in a home with easy and frequent outdoor access where he can soak up the sunshine and feel the wind through his thick, soft coat. If you’re looking for a loyal fetch and hiking buddy, sunshine enthusiast and all around good sport, Panda is your perfect match!

Panda is available to adopt in Utah.
