Description
Dog Breed: Border Collie (medium coat). Adoption Fee: $350.00. Hi everyone I’m Crickett! Not to brag, but I have the silkiest fur, the wiggliest butt and I’m a certified snuggle master! I am a 6 month old 24 lb border collie, estimated to weigh about 47 lbs full grown. I am house trained, crate trained and I’m doing so well with potty training, I’m almost there! I’ve been told I’m the goodest boy. I play very well with other dogs and I love people, big and small. I’m very friendly, I want everyone to be my friend! I love to run and play with my fur siblings but I am always down for a snuggle session on the couch. I love my humans and I love to give them hugs! I am very treat motivated and I’m so smart, learning commands and tricks quickly. I would love a home with a yard to play in or frequent walks to get my puppy energy out. I walk well on a leash and love exploring new places. And I’m always ready to snuggle and nap afterward. Besides having the most adorable face you’ll ever see, I have the sweetest and most playful personality. What can I say? I’m a shiny ball of fun and love! I’m ready to find my forever family, could that be you? Let’s find out! Apply to meet me today at bit.ly/RRAdoptionApplication

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).
