Oh, hello you! Potts here.

Shepherd brains over here: I learn fast, notice everything, and would love a person with a plan.

They wrote that I love to play. Understatement. I'd hike, fetch, and nap with you, in that order.

I won't fib — there's a little grey on my muzzle. "Older" just means I'm past the wild puppy chaos and all in on cozy company.

I'm on the bigger side — which, if you ask me, is just more of me to hug.

I do come with a few special needs, but please don't let that scare you off — I just need a patient friend, and I pay it back tenfold.

I'm a Oakland local, just waiting on the right person.

Here's the thing — I can't tell if we'd truly click until I know a little about you. Sign in (it's free) and I'll size up your place, say hello to any dogs you've got — or be your very first — and give you my honest read on whether we'd be a match.

Who knows — by Thanksgiving I might be napping on somebody's couch. I'd love it to be near you, one way or another.

Anyway, thank you for reading all the way to the end. Not everyone does, and I noticed. — Potts

About Potts

Potts – Easygoing, Engaging and Curious Potts is a 7-year-old, 58-pound Shepherd/Border Collie mix with an easygoing personality and a curious mind. He enjoys exploring his surroundings, sniffing, and taking in all the activity around him, and also practicing various cues with his human. Leash Manners: Potts pulls mildly on leash and is mostly interested in sniffing, marking, and exploring at his own pace. Independent Explorer: Potts enjoys entertaining himself, often running around the perimeter of the yard and investigating every interesting scent. He doesn't actively seek out attention but may lean in for pets when he's ready. Playful: Potts enjoys chasing a tossed ball, although he doesn't always bring it back. Treats & Engagement: Potts knows "sit", "paw" and can catch treats mid air. He takes treats gently, though he isn't consistently treat motivated. He may be curious about activities around him and may vocalize when excited. Potts will do best with appropriately matched dogs or as a solo dog with well-matched canine friends.
