Description
Dog Breed: Labrador Retriever / Border Collie / Mixed (short coat). Meet Ozzie! This lovable Labrador/Border Collie mix is an absolute sweetheart. Despite being 8 years old, Ozzie has an energetic spirit and adores the company of other dogs, making him the perfect companion for a home with another furry friend. Surprisingly, he's also quite fond of cats! Ozzie's affectionate nature extends to humans of all sizes, showcasing his friendly and gentle disposition. However, Ozzie has struggled with storm phobia, a fear that has impacted his life significantly. Currently under the care of our trainer, Ozzie is undergoing sessions to overcome this fear and understand that he's safe during storms. Regular exercise plays a crucial role in managing his anxiety and channeling his excess energy positively. We're committed to ensuring Ozzie finds the right home that can support him through his fear of storms. Coordinating meetings between potential adopters and our trainer will help set Ozzie up for success in his new environment. His primary need during storms is to be with his person or in a daycare setting where he feels safe and secure. If you're interested in providing a loving home to Ozzie during his senior years, please consider filling out our application. With the right support and care, Ozzie is sure to thrive and bring immense joy to his forever family. He's truly a remarkable boy!

Breed overview
Overview:
The Borador, a delightful cross between the intelligent Border Collie and the friendly Labrador Retriever, is a relatively new designer breed gaining popularity. Originating from the desire to blend the best traits of both parents, Boradors typically inherit a medium build, often with the Labrador's strong frame and the Collie's agile grace. Their coat can vary widely in color and texture, from short and dense to medium-length and feathery, usually requiring moderate grooming. Temperamentally, they are known for being loyal, energetic, and highly trainable, making them excellent companions for active families. They thrive in environments where they receive plenty of physical and mental stimulation, making them less suitable for small apartment living unless daily exercise is guaranteed. While generally healthy, potential owners should be aware of predispositions to conditions seen in their parent breeds, such as hip and elbow dysplasia or certain eye conditions, underscoring the importance of responsible breeding practices.
