HANK - BORDER COLLIE / COLLIE / MIXED (LONG COAT) DOG FOR ADOPTION

Description

Dog Breed: Border Collie / Collie / Mixed (long coat). Sweet young Hank was dumped by someone from Colorado just across the border in New Mexico (the action was seen by the people who rescued him). He was extremely thin, dehydrated, and exhausted. When we had him vetted, it was discovered he had an earlier break on his right hind leg which had healed up on its own but left the leg shorter than his other legs. After a bath, several meals, and a good night's sleep, Hank was like a different dog--curious, playful, and very interested in people and other dogs. Now, after several days in foster care, he is a happy, playful pup who doesn't seem to know he has a care in the world. We are looking for a special home for Hank--he will never be a true working dog, but needs someone who understands the needs and personalities of working dogs and will give him the structure and exercise he needs. He will reward his new person/family with lots of love, loyalty, and companionship for years to come.
