Description
Dog Breed: Border Collie (medium coat). Adoption Fee: 620. Meet Lenny Lenny is a wonderful boy with an excellent temperament and a calm, laid-back personality. Most of the time he’s relaxed and easygoing — until it’s time for a walk! Then you’ll be treated to some happy barking and his adorable little dance that shows just how excited he is to get moving Lenny does have some separation anxiety, so he would thrive best in a home where someone is home most of the time or able to take him along with them. With the right setup, he is an incredibly loyal and loving companion. He’s done great with every dog he’s met so far and has shown polite, well-mannered behavior around small children. He’s more drawn to women, but is respectful with men as well — a quick hello and he’s ready to move on. While he hasn’t been tested with cats, he’s been easily managed around them. Lenny already knows sit, lay down, and give paw, and he walks beautifully on a leash with no pulling. He’s very respectful in the home and hasn’t attempted to get on furniture, even when other dogs do. His appetite is normal, and he’s currently doing well on a weight-management diet with some added steamed chicken. Lenny is a truly special boy who will make an amazing companion for the right home — especially one looking for a calm, devoted shadow who just wants to be near his person.

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).
