Description
Dog Breed: Border Collie (medium coat). Please contact tammybuehrergmail for more information about this pet. Meet Maggie – A Bright Mind with a Tender Heart Maggie is a petite Border Collie mix with a big brain and a gentle spirit. Weighing just 22 pounds, this beautiful black-and-white girl is incredibly smart and eager to learn—especially when treats are involved! Maggie is still timid around people and will need a patient, experienced adopter to help her build confidence and work through her fears. While she thrives in the company of other dogs, she would do best in a home where she can also get plenty of one-on-one attention and positive reinforcement training. She has made great progress in her foster home, but she’s still considered a flight risk and is not suited for a home with young children. Maggie, along with her presumed littermates Toby and Chloe, was picked up as a stray in Southern Indiana. Despite her rough start, Maggie is making steady progress and has immense potential in the right home. Excellent with other dogs Highly intelligent and food motivated Needs a securely fenced yard and a calm environment Best suited to a home with no young children Will flourish with continued support and training If you have the experience and heart to help a timid dog blossom, Maggie might be the perfect match. Maggie is being fostered in Onondaga, Michigan. ****Not a dog for first-time owners. Must have a job! Please contact Please contact tammybuehrergmail if you have any questions about Maggie. You can complete an application to adopt Maggie or any of the dogs on our website at ebyebcrescue . *** The potential adoptor 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).
