Male Dog, Border Collie
Border Collie / Mixed (Medium Coat)
Description:
Buddy1-Year-Old White DogBuddy has been in foster care since November 14, 2024, and has made incredible progress. He is a friendly and energetic young dog who loves both people and other dogs. Buddy barks to say hello and to alert you when someone is approaching. He is full of energy and thrives on outdoor activities like catching frisbees, playing with balls, running, and taking long walks. On walks, he generally does well on a leash but occasionally needs redirection when he gets distracted by passing dogs or people. Buddy is housebroken and sleeps in his crate at night or when left home alone. He also rides well in cars and even on golf carts. Personality and Abilities- Playful: Buddy loves interactive play and challenging toys such as puzzles, Benebones, ropes, frisbees, and balls. - Intelligent: He learns quickly, especially when food or treats are involved, and already knows several commands, including sit, down, paw, stay, watch me, and no. He can even use a talking button to signal when he needs to go outside. - Gentle: Buddy takes treats politely and has no signs of food aggression. Ideal Home Buddy would do best in an active home with a fenced yard or on a farm. He needs plenty of exercise and mental stimulation to stay happy. He shows herding instincts, which could make him a good candidate as a working dog. Ongoing Training Needs - Buddy is still very much a puppy and occasionally chews on non-toy items like pillows. - He sometimes gets overstimulated during play and can become vocal, but his fosters are actively working on this. Transformation When Buddy arrived in his foster home, he was scared, skittish, and knew no commands. In just a few days, he blossomed into a happy, playful, and loving dog. Buddy has so much potential and is looking for a family or farmer who can keep him busy and offer him the active lifestyle he craves. Could you be the one to give Buddy his forever home?
