Description
Dog Breed: Border Collie (medium coat). This dog originally came to our shelter with her puppies and has shown a gentle, resilient spirit throughout her time in our care. Unfortunately, she is currently facing a serious and progressive medical condition affecting multiple joints, especially her right front wrist, which has developed significant swelling and ongoing lameness. Despite extensive veterinary care, diagnostics, and treatment - including therapy for Valley Fever - her condition has continued to worsen. Further testing indicates she is suffering from immune-mediated erosive polyarthritis, a chronic and painful disease similar to rheumatoid arthritis. This condition is progressive, carries a guarded to poor prognosis, and will require long-term treatment with steroids and immunosuppressant medications. The likelihood she will ever be relieved of her pain is unlikely, and we can not give a shelter dog immunosuppressant medicaions in a highly stressful and illness-prone environment (especially with her history of upper respiratory infection and pneumonia). At this time, she continues to limp even with the pain control options available in the shelter, and her quality of life is a growing concern. Our veterinary team has recommended humane euthanasia due to the severity of her condition. If we are unable to find proper placement for her, we will be letting her go on Wednesday 2/11/26. However, we are making a final effort to find a rescue or experienced adopter who may be able to try the specialized medical care, safe environment, and long-term support she needs.?? She needs help urgently. If you are a rescue partner or adopter with the ability to take on a medically complex dog, please reach out immediately.

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).
