Description
Dog Breed: Border Collie / Labrador Retriever / Mixed (medium coat). Adoption Fee: 550. Meet Oreo, a handsome Kentucky boy estimated to have been born on 7/26/25. He weighs 24 pounds and looks like he could be a mix of lab, border collie, beagle and/or pointer. We do not know his actual breed but do know he is 100% sweetheart! Oreo was welcomed intonhis foster home on 11/1/25. Oreo is the perfect combo of playful puppy and chill cuddlebug...a medium energy level so far...which has been a relief to his very laid back foster brother. He loves to romp around with squeaky toys and chase a ball or play tug o war with his brother, and then is ready to cuddle at your side when tuckered out. Oreo is dog and people friendly, although he displays normal puppy shyness if either are approaching too suddenly. When startled, he is quickly put at ease with pets and assurance that he is safe. Oreo is also good with kids and mostly sits as they approach, so he will continue to be rewarded for being such a good boy. Speaking of rewards, Oreo is very food/treat motivated, making training easier for his foster mom. He is doing well with potty training and still getting used to crate training. It's not so much the crate he doesn't like, since he happily sleeps in it at night, but he does stress if his people are out of sight. Oreo would do well in a home with other dogs or as the only dog of the family. Cats and other pets are unknown. A fenced yard is recommended to keep him safe. Oreo is a very sweet boy that'll be sure to make your heart melt! I f you are interested in adopting/meeting this pup , please complete our online adoption application that you can find here: .starfishanimalrescue/adopt/dog-adoption-application . Your application will be reviewed by our team and if it is a good fit, we will send to the foster family to set up a meet! The adoption fee of $550 will include spay/neuter, microchip, age appropriate/required vaccinations, treatment for heartworm and any other necessary medical treatment to assure a healthy new pup for your family. IMPORTANT DISCLAIMER: Although we do our best to describe breed, since our pups all come from shelters we can not and will not make any guarantee on breed or size. We can tell you that they are 100% RESCUED! And that is the BEST breed! *please note that we are a foster home based rescue and we do home visits as part of the adoption process - we are unable to adopt to families who live outside of the Chicago and surrounding suburbs. Thank you for your understanding.

Breed overview
Overview:
The Borador, a delightful cross between the intelligent Border Collie and the friendly Labrador Retriever, is a relatively new designer breed gaining popularity. Originating from the desire to blend the best traits of both parents, Boradors typically inherit a medium build, often with the Labrador's strong frame and the Collie's agile grace. Their coat can vary widely in color and texture, from short and dense to medium-length and feathery, usually requiring moderate grooming. Temperamentally, they are known for being loyal, energetic, and highly trainable, making them excellent companions for active families. They thrive in environments where they receive plenty of physical and mental stimulation, making them less suitable for small apartment living unless daily exercise is guaranteed. While generally healthy, potential owners should be aware of predispositions to conditions seen in their parent breeds, such as hip and elbow dysplasia or certain eye conditions, underscoring the importance of responsible breeding practices.
