Blossom - Border Collie / Mixed (short coat) Dog For Adoption

View more

;rsquo;s the perfect medium size — not too big, not too small, and doesn’t need a ton of space to thrive. What she does need is a loving home where she can be part of the family. Blossom loves to be near her people no matter what you’re doing — cooking, working, watching TV, or just hanging out — she’s right there soaking it all in. But she also does a great job entertaining herself with chew toys and bones when you're busy. She seems to be house-broken, and while we’ve been taking her out regularly (we work from home), she’s had zero accidents and is doing great with a routine. Blossom is smart and eager to please — she’s already learned to sit on command and is working on more good habits like staying under the table during meals (and not begging!). This girl is naturally curious and loves to explore around the house with you. She can be startled by loud noises and is still gaining confidence outside, but she’s already come such a long way. When she first arrived, she didn’t know how to do stairs and barely wanted to leave her dog bed — now she enjoys daily walks, snuggles, and being your little shadow. Like any young pup, Blossom needs supervision around tempting objects like shoes, socks, and remotes — but she’s learning quickly. She stays in a crate when we leave the house and handles it well. She’s not much of a barker — in fact, the only time we’ve heard her bark was at her own reflection (she thought she found a new friend!). She also discovered that chasing water from the hose is the best game ever. Blossom is sweet, gentle, loyal, and full of love. She’s the kind of dog who bonds deeply and wants nothing more than to have a person (or people) of her very own. If you’re looking for a loyal companion who’s smart, snuggly, and silly in all the right ways — Blossom might just be your perfect match.

IMPORTANT DISCLAIMER: Although we do our best to describe breed, since our pups all come from shelters we can not and will not make any guarantee on breed or size. We can tell you that they are 100% RESCUED! And that is the BEST breed! *please note that we are a foster home based rescue and we do home visits as part of the adoption process - we are unable to adopt to families who live outside of the Chicago and surrounding suburbs.
