LUNA (A COURTESY LISTING IN ST LOUIS, MO) - BORDER COLLIE / MIXED (SHORT COAT) DOG FOR ADOPTION

Description

Dog Breed: Border Collie / Mixed (short coat). Luna is a young BC mix whose owners are interested in finding her a home where she will get more attention, including some training or behavior modification for the anxiety she displays. Her owners say she has a definite 'touch boundary' and will react when it is breached by showing teeth and even nipping. She also resource guards, particularly her food. It is not advised that she be in a home with children at this time. However, Luna is also a sweet, playful dog and her owners say this about her: "Luna is a two-year-old, 35 lb Border Collie mix with a big heart and endless energy. She's incredibly smart, loves playing fetch, learning new tricks, and thrives with daily structure and activity. Luna is crate trained, mostly housebroken, and bonds closely with her person once trust is built. She does best as the only dog in the home, as she has resource guarding tendencies. Luna also has strong touch boundaries: if she doesn't want to be petted, she will show her teeth as a warning, and if ignored, she may nip (though she has never broken skin). When her energy needs are met, she's calm, affectionate, and focused. For example, after a good park visit, she recently completed a full vet exam and vaccines with no issues or muzzle needed. Luna is looking for an experienced, active owner who understands dogs with clear boundaries and can provide her with the structured life she deserves. She will bring so much loyalty, love, and joy to the right person who understands her unique needs."
