Description
Dog Breed: Border Collie (medium coat). Looking for a loyal companion with a sweet personality and plenty of love to give? Meet Bettie, a 7-year-old Border Collie who is ready to find her perfect forever home!Bettie is a gentle, affectionate girl who enjoys spending time with her people and soaking up attention. She has a friendly nature and can get along with some dogs when introductions are done appropriately, though she may prefer select canine friends over a crowded social circle. As a typical Border Collie, Bettie is intelligent, active, and enjoys having outlets for both her mind and body. She will thrive with an adopter who understands the breed and can provide her with regular exercise, enrichment, and companionship. Bettie does have a high prey drive, so she is not suitable for a home with cats or other small animals. She is also looking for an adult-only home or one with older, dog-savvy children, as young children are not the right fit for her. Due to her activity level and need for space, Bettie is not suited for apartment living and would do best in a home where she has room to stretch her legs and enjoy daily adventures.If you're looking for a smart, devoted companion and are ready to give this wonderful girl the loving home she deserves, Bettie may be the perfect match for you!

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).
