Description
Dog Breed: Border Collie (medium coat). Please contact stephodellbchotmail for more information about this pet. Meet Harlow – A Gentle Heart Ready to Bloom Harlow is a 3½-year-old Mini Aussie × Border Collie mix who’s as sweet as she is small—only about 30 pounds! She came from a hoarding situation and can feel a little overwhelmed in new environments, but once she settles in, her affectionate and playful personality shines through. This lovely girl is house-trained, spayed, and enjoys the comfort of her crate. She gets along well with other dogs and takes her cues from them, gaining confidence as she feels secure. Because she can be startled by sudden changes or loud noises, Harlow will need a patient, understanding home that can help her continue to build trust. A securely fenced yard is required, as she could try to flee if frightened. Harlow is learning that life can be full of kindness, routine, and fun—and she’s ready to share that joy with a family who will give her the gentle love she deserves. Fostered in Plymouth, IN Please contact stephodellbchotmail if you have any questions about Harlow. You can complete an application to adopt Harlow 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).
