Description
Dog Breed: Border Collie (medium coat). Please contact stephodellbchotmail for more information about this pet. Meet Sawyer – Your Loyal Fetching Fanatic! Sawyer is a handsome 3-year-old Border Collie mix with a big heart and an even bigger love for tennis ball fetch! This fetching machine will play for as long as you’re willing to toss — it’s truly his favorite thing in the world. Sawyer came to rescue after a caring veterinarian reached out for help when his owner left for college and he was sadly kept isolated in a room. Despite that rough start, he’s proven to be affectionate, loyal, and full of heart. Once he knows you, he becomes an incredibly devoted companion. He can be a little reserved at first — especially with unfamiliar men — but his love runs deep once trust is built. ❤️ He’s great with other dogs in playgroups and has two best buddies, Wiley and Tippy. However, because he can resource-guard his tennis ball, fetch time is best enjoyed solo. Sawyer would do well as an only dog or with a calm canine friend who isn’t toy-obsessed. He’s also completely indifferent to cats! Sawyer has started a Basic Obedience Class and is doing well. At doggie daycare, he’s social but prefers polite company — he’s not a fan of overly rowdy playmates and will let them know when it’s too much. Sawyer is crate trained, house trained, and ready to find his forever person — someone who will toss the ball, share adventures, and let him be their loyal sidekick. Fostered in Plymouth, IN Contact: stephodellbchotmail *** 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).
