You'll feel like you've known Anikan forever. This handsome black‑and‑white Collie mix has the soft, steady presence of a seasoned companion paired with the playful spark of a dog who still loves a good romp. At seven years old, he’s the perfect blend of active and easygoing, up for adventure but just as happy to curl up for a nap. I n his busy foster home, Anikan has shown himself to be affectionate, intelligent, gentle, and wonderfully even‑tempered. He enjoys meeting new people and seems to love dogs of all sizes. He has been more a co-exister with other dogs rather than a play buddy. His overall vibe? Sweet, very smart, social, and active. Anikan thrives on connection, either with a warm lap or hanging in the yard. He has shown to be an excellent house guest : no accidents, no destruction, and calm when crated for up to eight hours. He’s still polishing up his leash skills, but he’s eager to please and learns quickly. In the car, he’s calm and comfortable but has gotten sick on long car rides.
