Description
Dog Breed: Border Collie (medium coat). Meet Bonavita! Bonavita is a girl on a mission—curious, bright, and always ready to explore the world around her. She’s easy to leash up, and once she steps outside, her excitement really shines. When she gets enthusiastic, she can be a bit jumpy, so she’ll benefit from some structured training—but with her smarts and eagerness to learn, she’ll pick it up quickly. Out on walks, Bonavita is cautiously curious about other dogs and stays very aware of her surroundings. She already knows “sit” and takes her treats like a pro, which makes training both fun and rewarding for her. Bonavita loves to be engaged. Exploring new scents, checking out her environment, and enjoying a good head massage—those are her happy moments. She’s the kind of dog who would thrive with a job, a routine, or an active lifestyle that keeps her mind and body busy. This beautiful young dog was a little shy at first, but has blossomed into a happy, playful pup. She loves people and can be very entertaining with her silly antics. Bonavita will make you smile and laugh every day :) To meet me, visit the Bradshaw Animal Shelter Tuesday-Sunday, Noon - 5:00 pm, Wednesdays, Noon - 6:00 pm. All adoptions are on a first-come, first-served basis.

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).
