Description

Dog Breed: Border Collie (medium coat). Please contact tammybuehrergmail for more information about this pet. Chloe — Whispy, Smart & Ready to Fly! ✨ Age: ~9 months Weight: 24 lbs Height: ~16 inches Spayed Female Border Collie Mix BC experience required Fenced yard required Best as an only dog (see below!) No young kids Chloe may be petite in size, but her personality is anything but small. This spirited young Border Collie mix is sweet, sensitive, whip-smart—and ready for the right home to help her continue her journey toward confidence and joy. A Remarkable Transformation Chloe arrived in foster care in early March, shut down and scared of everything—especially people. She couldn’t make eye contact without trembling and urinating in fear. But with time, consistency, and a whole lot of love, she’s made amazing progress. She now seeks affection, makes eye contact, and looks to her trusted person for reassurance. Meeting new people is still a process, but with proper introductions and patience, Chloe is learning that humans can be safe and even fun! Dog Dynamics Chloe LOVES other dogs—sometimes too much. While she enjoys playing with canine friends, she’s prone to becoming overly dependent on them. In the home, she would do best as a solo dog with regular access to appropriate dog friends. If there is another dog in the home, that dog must be very neutral and non-reactive, so Chloe doesn’t default to following them instead of building trust with her people. She’s learning to enjoy solo time and is starting to build confidence through one-on-one training sessions with her foster. Training Superstar Training Chloe is a dream for anyone with the patience to let her think things through. She is extremely intelligent and eager to learn, picking up commands quickly once she feels safe. She knows: • Come • Sit • Her name • “Wait” • “Kennel up” • “Off” She’s working on “Down” and improving every day. Chloe needs a home that will gently push her outside of her comfort zone—not one that will coddle her fears. She thrives with structure, gentle guidance, and a little bit of challenge. Farm-Ready Chloe has become quite the little farm dog! She enjoys outdoor time, loves to run, and would not thrive in a small city yard. She’s respectful of the chickens on her foster’s property (who are housed in a secure run), and she shows interest but has never caused trouble. She ignores the indoor cats and gives them space. Outside, she may chase barn cats—especially the ones who instigate a game!—but she means no harm. Car Rides & Safety Chloe rides beautifully in the car when secured in a seat-belt harness. She quietly naps or watches the world go by. She’s not a fan of being crated in the car and does best buckled in. Due to her lingering fear responses, she must be tethered or crated—she is still a flight risk and needs continued work to build confidence in new environments. Best Home Environment Chloe will thrive in a calm, structured home. ✅ Best as an only dog (or with a very benign resident dog) ✅ Needs a securely fenced yard and space to run ✅ No young kids—older teens (13+) who understand her sensitivities may be okay ✅ No dog parks or chaotic social settings ✅ Ideal for someone who enjoys training and helping a dog blossom A Diamond in the Rough Do you have time in your life for the most wonderful little dog you could ever imagine having in your life? Chloe is a diamond in the rough—an absolute sprite of a dog. Bright, happy, eager, and affectionate, she has so much love to give. She still has lessons to learn, and she needs someone special to help her become the dog she was always meant to be. Is that person you Chloe is being fostered in Onondaga, MI Please contact tammybuehrergmail if you have any questions about Chloe.
