Meet Tate

Tate was born in September of 2016 under a shed in a rural area outside of Atlanta and was very happy that a rescue group found him with his siblings and took them all in. Tate's mom was a Border Collie mix and we're not sure about dad, but he was he was obviously a very handsome dude! Tate can be very nervous in new situations and with new people, but once he feels comfortable, he becomes a big goofball who loves to snuggle! He prefers to be inside where he feels safe so he needs a person/family who will be patient with him and give him time to get acclimated. He would love a fenced yard, and to be your one & only, so a home without small children or other pets would be ideal Tate is housebroken, crate trained, neutered, fully vaccinated & microchipped.
