Hi there! I am Mac, the spunky Border Collie, and this is the story of how I learned to follow my heart. On a sunny spring day, I made my grand entrance on a beautiful farm in New York, and guess what – it was Mother's Day, too! Talk about a double celebration! Meet my beautiful mama, Mae. “She has the charm to match her name!” When I entered the world, I was so tiny that I could snuggle comfortably in the palm of my “Mama’s Mama.” I am one of 11 pups, and the bond I share with my four brothers and six lively sisters is incredibly strong. Trust me, there is never a dull day around here! My siblings and I were an energetic bunch, racing through the wide-open fields of the farm, jumping, spinning, and chasing each other. “After a day filled with fun and games, Mama would treat us to milk.” “It was so comforting to snuggle up with my siblings and Mama as she lovingly fed us.” My time on the farm with my mama and siblings was magical. We raced through the lush fields, and I barked joyfully as I chased them. "My heart was filled with happiness, ready for every adventure!" Born in the lush green fields of Britain and Scotland, the Border Collie is the superstar of herding. Our purpose is to oversee livestock, such as sheep and cows, and trust me, we have the natural talents for it. For us, it is a walk in the park! “When summer came, and we turned six weeks old, our human caretaker announced we would soon go to new homes; it made me sad because I loved spending every second with my brothers and sisters. Our playtime was the highlight of my day! As I watched my siblings find new homes and follow in our parents’ pawprints, either herding cows or guiding sheep, I daydreamed about my future too.”
