Description
Dog Breed: Border Collie / Terrier (medium coat). NJ Meet Spooky! Spooky is a beautiful 2-year-old Border Collie–Terrier mix with a gentle soul and a heart that's growing a little braver every day. After being found wandering the streets, she's now safe in foster care and learning what it means to be loved. Spooky is doing wonderfully in her foster home. She's incredibly sweet and has been coming out of her shell more and more as she settles in. While she doesn't love strangers walking right up to her, a little patience goes a long way. Once she feels comfortable, she warms up and shows her affectionate, loyal personality. She gets along great with her foster family—just on her own timeline. One thing that's clear: Spooky absolutely loves other dogs. She takes comfort in having canine friends around and would likely thrive in a home with another friendly dog to help continue building her confidence. Spooky loves her crate and sees it as her safe place. She enjoys walks, exploring the outdoors, sniffing all the interesting smells, and keeping an eye on squirrels. She's also remarkably quiet—her foster family has yet to hear her bark! Spooky is looking for a patient, understanding home that will let her settle in at her own pace. In return, you'll get the joy of watching this sweet girl blossom into the confident companion she's meant to be. Spooky is fixed, up to date on vaccines and microchipped. Her adoption donation will be $500. - Adopting an animal 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 animal have been through they deserve a loving, committed home.

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).
