Description
Dog Breed: Border Collie / Terrier (medium coat). Meet Spooky! This sweet girl is ready to head to NJ, she just needs an adopter or foster to make the trip. She tested positive for HW just recently after previously being negative so she will require two trips to Barnegat Animal Clinic or she can't come up until May. Meet Spooky — a one-of-a-kind sweetheart with a story that will steal your heart. This beautiful two-year-old Border Collie–Terrier mix was found wandering the streets before finding her way into rescue, and now she’s safe and thriving in her foster home. Spooky is house-trained and loves her kennel — it’s her cozy safe place. She’s gentle in everything she does, from her soft eyes to her slow, sweet tail wags. She loves other dogs and feels most comfortable when she has canine friends around. She does well with cats too and absolutely loves to run and play in the yard! If you’re looking for a loving companion with a gentle spirit and a heart full of gratitude, Spooky might just be your perfect match. Spooky is fixed, up to date on vaccines and microchipped. Her adoption fee will be $450. Adopting a dog is a commitment that will require annual veterinary care at a minimum, training, exercise, enrichment, etc. Pet care is not cheap or easy and adopters should consider the costs, time and training prior to adoption. After all these dogs have been through they deserve a loving, committed home. If you are interested in learning more about me, and possibly making me part of your family, please go to wag-on-inn .

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).
