We are sharing his info in cooperation with a rural shelter. We often work with. Time in shelter (as of April 16th): 784 days Meet Taz — and let’s be real… 784 days is way too long for any dog to be waiting. Taz came to us as a stray on 2/21/2024, and somehow, he’s still here. He’s about 3 years old, around 45 lbs, and full of personality. The kind of personality that makes you laugh one minute and shake your head the next — in the best way. He’s quirky, smart, and has so much potential just waiting for the right person to see it. He’s dog-friendly, but like a lot of dogs who have spent time in a shelter, he can get a little reactive out in public. He’d do best in a home without small kids, or with older, dog-savvy kids who understand his energy and boundaries. Taz is food motivated, knows sit, walks pretty well on a leash, and has a serious ball drive — he LOVES to work and play. He was even tested for detection work, but didn’t quite have the nerve strength for that path. Still, that drive and focus mean he could absolutely thrive in the right environment — maybe even as a sport or activity dog. And medically? He’s completely ready to go: ✔️ Neutered ✔️ Microchipped ✔️ Rabies, DAPP, Lepto & Bordetella vaccinated ✔️ Dewormed ✔️ Heartworm negative ✔️ On monthly heartworm prevention Now all he’s missing… is a home. A couch. A person. 784 days is 784 too many. Let’s change his story. Please share. His person might not have met him yet. ❤️ please complete the application on our website below Then TEXT SARA: 214-549-9905 So she can check your application and get back to you! .dashdog General Info - PLEASE READ! *Our $450 adoption fee is based on the cost of rescuing, transporting and vetting each dog; we do not try to compete on prices with municipal shelters whose funds are paid by the city.

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).
