Danny Boy has lived most of his life in the country but is looking for a new home. He is curious and likes to explore his surroundings so he will need a home with a secure fence and large yard. Danny is a large Border Collie mix with a silky long coat. He is very friendly. He will need a family that is active and will provide him with lots of exercise. He is clean in his run, so we believe he is housebroken.
