Description
Dog Breed: Border Collie / Australian Shepherd / Mixed. Boo is a beautiful Border Collie mix, about 3 years old and around 30 pounds, with a gentle soul and a heart that’s learning how good life can be. She came to us straight off the reservation, where she survived on the streets for several years before finally finding safety in a foster home. Despite her past neglect, Boo is a sweet, friendly, and surprisingly trusting dog who is making wonderful progress every day. In her foster home, Boo has proven herself to be a dream houseguest. She is fully house-trained and completely trustworthy when left alone in the house. She enjoys attention and affection—especially when she gets to choose the moment! When called, Boo happily approaches for love and pets, though she can be shy if someone approaches her instead. She does best when her boundaries are respected, and she’s given time to build confidence at her own pace. Boo is still learning the ropes of being a pet. She doesn’t yet know how to walk on a leash and has no experience with car rides, but with patience and positive reinforcement, she’s sure to continue blossoming. One thing she does know well? Other dogs! Boo is fantastic with every dog she’s met and absolutely loves to cuddle and play with her canine foster siblings. She will need a home with another confident, well-socialized dog to help her feel secure and show her the way. A fenced yard is a must for Boo, as she needs the freedom to go outside on her own in a safe space. She’ll thrive in a calm, laid-back home with people who understand shy dogs and are committed to helping her continue her journey toward becoming a confident, happy companion. To meet Boo, please complete an application at caws/adoption-application. Dogs are not placed on a first-come, first-serve basis. We strive to find the perfect home for each animal. Applications may take up to 48 hours to process. All CAWS animals are fixed, microchipped, and vaccinated. Her adoption fee is $200. If you are interested in adopting a CAWS pet, please fill out an online application at caws/adoption-application

Breed overview
Overview:
The Border-Aussie, a captivating hybrid of the Australian Shepherd and Border Collie, is a relatively new designer breed gaining popularity for its intelligence and athleticism. Originating from the desire to combine the best traits of its highly trainable parent breeds, the Border-Aussie typically exhibits a medium build with a striking, often bi- or tri-colored coat that can be rough or smooth. Temperamentally, they are incredibly intelligent, energetic, and possess a strong work drive, making them eager to learn and excel in various dog sports. While generally good-natured and loyal, their high energy levels and need for mental stimulation make them best suited for active families or individuals who can provide consistent training and plenty of exercise; they are generally not ideal for apartment living. Potential owners should also be aware of common health concerns inherited from their parent breeds, such as hip and elbow dysplasia, eye conditions (like Collie Eye Anomaly), and epilepsy.
