Description
Dog Breed: Border Collie (medium coat). Please contact ebaxter2010outlook for more information about this pet. Introducing Shaka!!! Shaka is a lovable and intelligent Border Collie who adores people! Shaka thrives on human interaction and enjoys being petted, making her a delightful companion for anyone looking for a furry friend. Though she’s made strides in overcoming some challenges, Shaka will need a dedicated pet parent to help her continue her journey. She has made progress with resource guarding. She prefers to be the only female dog in the home and gets along well with respectful male companions. Shaka has some separation anxiety, but she’s responding well to anti-anxiety medication. Loud noises can be a source of fear for her, so a calm and quiet environment is ideal. She’s an athletic girl who loves to run and play, so a home with a secure 6-foot privacy fence (no e-fences, please!) is necessary for her safety and happiness. Shaka is a fan favorite at the vet's office, where her affectionate nature is always met with smiles. She’s looking for an experienced handler to guide her while showering her with love and praise. If you're ready to open your heart and home to this sweet girl, Shaka is eager to find her forever family. With love and support, she will be a devoted companion who will bring joy and affection into your life. Age: 7 years 4 months (best estimate) Weight: 45 lbs.

Overview:
The Border Collie is a highly intelligent and energetic herding dog, originating from the Anglo-Scottish border region where they were bred for their exceptional sheep-gathering abilities. Physically, they are medium-sized dogs with an athletic build, typically weighing between 30-55 pounds, and feature a double coat that can be rough or smooth, appearing in a wide variety of colors, though black and white is most common. Their alert, intense gaze is a hallmark of the breed. Temperamentally, Border Collies are renowned for their incredible trainability, eagerness to please, and boundless energy, making them excellent candidates for dog sports like agility and obedience. However, this high drive means they require significant mental and physical stimulation; without proper outlets, they can become bored and destructive. While loyal and affectionate with their families, their herding instincts can sometimes translate to nipping at children or other pets if not managed, making them generally better suited for experienced owners who can dedicate time to their training and exercise needs. They are definitely not suited for apartment living and thrive in homes with large, secure yards and active lifestyles. Health-wise, they are generally robust, but can be prone to certain genetic conditions such as Collie Eye Anomaly (CEA), hip and elbow dysplasia, and Trapped Neutrophil Syndrome (TNS).
