Description
Dog Breed: Border Collie. Meet Bowie!! Born in October 2020, he is the definition of joy in a furry package. He's incredibly sweet, loving, and always greets you with a full body wiggle (yes, butt wiggle included!) Looking for a personality? He is friendly with all and a social butterfly. Bowie adores his canine and feline friends and has perfect manners with children. He's happiest when included--whether it's hanging out with other dogs or spending time with his people. Bowie is easy going, calm and adaptable. Bowie's favorite things include walks & car rides: Just don't say the words unless you're ready--his little feet will start tippy tapping in excitement! Belly rubs are Bowie's ultimate love language and while not overly food motivated, he enjoys snacks and knows how to sit and stay. The best thing about Bowie is simple, he's just happy to be included. His cheerful spirit, gentle nature, and love for companionship make him the perfect addition to any family!! The adoption fee for all of our dogs is $300.00 and that includes their vaccinations, spay or neuter, rabies and microchip. Our dogs are also heartworm negative (or we will cover their treatment). To start the process please visit our website and fill out the adoption application (.dfwrescueme) and from there the foster family can answer any questions and arrange a time to meet. Bowie is participating in the DFW Rescue Me Guest Dog Program, so custody and ongoing care are provided by the foster, not by DFWRM

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).
