Description
Dog Breed: Border Collie (medium coat). Please contact stephodellbchotmail for more information about this pet. Meet Porter – Your Future Co-Pilot Awaits! Porter (affectionately known as “Porky”) is the sweetest, most devoted boy you could hope to meet. At around 6 years old, he has worked hard to transform his life — trimming down from 64 pounds to a healthy 42 and feeling fantastic! Once slowed down by extra weight, Porter now enjoys every moment of his active, happy life. This gentle, social boy loves hanging out with other dogs, gets along fine with cats, and greets everyone with a wag and a smile. He’s house-trained, crate-trained (though he doesn’t really need it), and well-behaved in the home. Porter walks nicely on leash, loves car rides, and happily joins in on errands or adventures. Calm, polite, affectionate indoors; friendly with people, dogs, and curious but gentle with cats. Crate and house trained. Porter is truly one of a kind — loyal, loving, and ready to share his heart with a forever family who will cherish him as much as he’ll cherish them. Porter is around 6 years old and being fostered in Plymouth, IN Please contact stephodellbchotmail if you have any questions about Porter. You can complete an application to adopt Porter or any of the dogs on our website at ebyebcrescue . *** The potential adopter will get a refund on the Application Fee if it’s determined by the Foster Parent that it’s not a good match for the dog and the dog for them, if we do not process their application.

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).
