Five | 4-Year-Old Border Collie Mix | Gentle Soul Looking for His Safe Place
Five is a quiet, tenderhearted boy whose presence is felt in the softest, most meaningful ways. At 4 years old and 45 pounds, this Border Collie mix hasn’t had much love or stability in his past, but he’s making up for it now in his foster home. With patience and kindness, he’s learning to trust, healing from old wounds, and showing glimpses of the sweet companion he’s meant to be.
Once just a number in the shelter system, Five is slowly shedding that past and discovering the good life. He still moves cautiously in new situations and around new people, but each day he grows a little braver. He follows his foster family from room to room, not always seeking affection but clearly wanting connection. Other dogs help him feel more at ease, and he’s wonderfully respectful with cats—content to watch them with calm curiosity.
Five is crate trained, nearly housebroken, and very food-motivated, which makes him a quick study with gentle guidance. While still building confidence on the leash, he loves having a fenced yard where he can safely explore and enjoy the outdoors. Chew toys keep him happily occupied, and he’s learning which ones are his to enjoy.
The perfect home for Five will be calm and patient, with adults or older children who understand that trust takes time. Another gentle dog in the home would be ideal to help show him the ropes and give him confidence. What Five needs most is consistency, kindness, and the chance to feel secure.
Beneath his initial shyness is a dog who longs to belong. With the right family, Five will blossom into a loyal, deeply devoted companion who proves that the quietest dogs often have the biggest hearts.
Fenway is searching for a calm, peaceful forever home where he can continue to blossom with love and patience. He’ll thrive with someone who appreciates his mellow nature, his silly quirks, and the comfort of a loyal, snuggly companion. If you’re looking for a faithful buddy for Netflix marathons, long naps, and quiet company, Fenway may be the perfect match.
If you and the dog are a good match then we'll connect you with our dog's foster parents to chat more in-depth. If both you and the foster agree that the dog is a good fit then a meet and greet is scheduled. We require applicants' dogs to meet ours to ensure they get along. We'll ask you to read and sign our adoption agreement and pay the adoption fee to complete the adoption when it comes time. Our adoption fees help cover the costs of saving more lives! A home visit will be scheduled within one week of your new pet going home with you.
The adoption fee for this pet is $375. Our adoption fee covers the following:
Spay/neuter
Microchip
DAPP vaccinations as age-appropriate for the dog.
Rabies vaccinations as age-appropriate for the dog.
Adopters shall be responsible for all vaccinations after adoption.
