CHLOE - BORDER COLLIE (MEDIUM COAT) DOG FOR ADOPTION

Description

Dog Breed: Border Collie (medium coat). Please contact tammybuehrergmail for more information about this pet. Chloe Update 12/10/2025 Oh, the places she’ll go! Chloe has blossomed into a wonderful little companion. She has such a lovely, bright little spirit. She is always willing to go for an adventure. Chloe celebrated her first birthday in October, so she is a “big girl” now and she wants everyone to know that she is growing up in lots of ways! ● Good in the car while seat-belted in for her own safety. ● Still a flight risk when startled, but she is recovering much quicker these days! ● Still working on house training, she gets very distracted outside, so some supervision is required to redirect her back to her purpose. The good side is that she will come “tell” me that she needs to go outside at times, the problem is my “hearing” her requests. It is hard to determine if she is making a request to go outside or if she is just seeking attention. The signals are the same. ● Cats are questionable when outside. Chloe will give chase to my barn cats, but seems to respect them when they are inside the house. She does call off the cats relatively easily when outside, but the initial urge to chase is very much present. ● Chloe is still shy with new people, but she is warming up quicker to meeting people these days. She really likes affection and is learning to trust her humans. ● A crate is a must for Chloe. She is a big fan! ● An obedience class is a must for Chloe too. She is smart as a whip and LOVES to please her humans. She is learning a few little “tricks” and she is happy to have training time. ● One thing to note with Chloe is that she is very prone to follow the lead of other dogs. She has latched onto one of the resident dogs and follows their every move. She would benefit from a home with a very benign dog that doesn’t give Chloe much attention or a single dog home. She would rather follow the dogs lead than mine when in the pack. When I have Chloe away from this particular dog, Chloe is willing and able to follow my lead. I think an obedience class will solidify her bond with her forever handler and this problem will resolve. To sum it all up, Chloe is a happy, playful, affectionate little gal who happens to be a very cautious when meeting new people. She loves her toy box and will rifle through to find just the right toy. She likes all kinds of toys, squeaky toys she will kill the squeaker in 5 seconds flat, she loves a good chew toy and she will bounce around the house all on her own with a ball. She is not a big fan of playing fetch, she would rather just chase the dog who is chasing the ball. She has never played fetch independently while in foster care. She is a big fan of treat puzzles! She has been challenged with several different types and she is quick to figure out how to get her dinner out of the puzzle. Chloe has gained a great amount of self-confidence while in foster and I believe that she will continue to gain a stronger sense of self once she is in her furever home with her people. Chloe is being fostered in Onondaga, MI Please contact tammybuehrergmail if you have any questions about Chloe.
