Susan Daffron talks to Jo-Anne Dixon, D.V.M. from the Animal Shelter of the Wood River Valley about a dog named Hoss who is available for adoption. The Animal Shelter of the Wood River Valley is a no-kill shelter located in Idaho near the Sun Valley ski resort. Hoss is a medium sized, neutered male border collie/heeler mix who is about 5 months old. Hoss and his brother were found as strays and brought to the animal shelter. Although Hoss' brother found a new home, Hoss is still waiting for his special someone. Although he is still a bit of a puppy, Hoss is a smart dog with a lot of energy.

Both border collies and heelers are herding breeds that love to have something to do, and Hoss is no exception. Given his herding heritage, Hoss would do best in a home prepared to give him lots of time, exercise and mental stimulation. If you have ever thought about doing obedience or agility with your dog, or even just having a canine friend to go on long walks with, Hoss would be the perfect companion. With his happy energetic spirit and fun personality, Hoss will make a great addition to your family.
