CARL #1 - BORDER COLLIE / MIXED DOG FOR ADOPTION

Description

Dog Breed: Border Collie / Mixed. Animal Rescue of the Rockies believes every pet should find a wonderful and caring home. To ensure Carl #1 finds the best possible home, we ask you fill out our adoption application so we can learn more about you and your household. We review each application in the order submitted and will contact you within 48 hours (please check your spam folder for our emails) . Carl | 4 1/2-month-old Border Collie mix | Adventure buddy meets cuddle bug Carl is the total package: smart, affectionate, playful, and always ready for either an outdoor adventure or a movie marathon on the couch. This handsome black-and-white Border Collie mix is 4 1/2 months old, around 22 pounds, and full of personality. He loves hiking, walks, toys, chew bones, belly rubs, and being as close to his people as possible. If you’re petting him, he’s happy. Carl is incredibly intelligent and eager to learn. He already knows commands like sit, stay, down, come, leave it, off, and no, and his recall is especially impressive for a puppy his age. He picks up new words quickly and is highly motivated by food, toys, and affection. He’s also crate trained, sleeps through the night, and does beautifully when left home alone, whether by himself or with other dogs. He gets along well with other dogs, enjoys children, and is friendly with everyone he meets. While he loves having dog friends around, he’d also likely do well as an only dog in a home where he gets plenty of love and activity. Like many puppies, he’s still working on a few things, including jumping up, taking treats too enthusiastically, and being a little protective of special toys around other dogs. Carl is almost fully potty trained and will reliably use a potty pad if he needs to go indoors. One quirky thing about him: he’s still a little nervous about going into the backyard by himself and prefers having his humans accompany him outside. He has no issues pottying on walks or in the front yard and continues building confidence every day. His ideal home would be an active family ready for all the fun that comes with a young, energetic, and very smart puppy. In return, Carl will provide endless affection, entertainment, and companionship — preferably while curled up under the blankets beside you. If you and the dog are a good match then we'll connect you with our dog's foster parents to chat more in-depth. If both you and the foster agree that the dog is a good fit then a meet and greet is scheduled. We require applicants' dogs to meet ours to ensure they get along.
