BUDDY - BORDER COLLIE / AUSTRALIAN SHEPHERD / MIXED (LONG COAT) DOG FOR ADOPTION

Description

Dog Breed: Border Collie / Australian Shepherd / Mixed (long coat). Buddy is super sweet and loves attention, but he is shy at first. Don't let that prevent you from giving him a chance though because this dog is amazing! He had only been outdoors before we got him and we keep him in an outside kennel here because he LOVES to play in his water. He has been inside a few times and did just fine using the doggie door. Buddy is good with other dogs, cats, and kids too. He is full of energy and very smart. We only have to show him how to something once and he understands (like walking with a harness and leash). He likes cuddles, to chew on stuffies and he loves to be right by your side. He will make a great companion for any dog lover that is looking for a constant companion. Buddy did test positive for Heartworms when we got him and he has successfully finished his treatment. He will need to be on heartworm preventative the rest of his life (which is an easy thing to do). If you would like more information, please contact our shelter at 870-269-5200 or go to our website at schspets and complete an adoption application and someone will contact you for a meet and greet.
