Description
Dog Breed: Border Collie (medium coat). Please note that PAHS does NOT do online adoption applications. You must come to the shelter in person to meet the PAHS pets. Sassy Rose is a 5-year-old spayed female Border Collie with a striking black-and-white medium-length coat. She weighs 60 pounds and is considered a large adult dog. Initially shy and timid, she quickly becomes affectionate and forms a strong, devoted bond with her family. Playful and energetic, Sassy Rose enjoys engaging in activities and is highly intelligent and well-trained. She would do well with older children, and a meet-and-greet is recommended if you have another dog to ensure compatibility. A staff favorite, Sassy Rose is a wonderful all-around companion and would make an excellent addition to any family. She particularly enjoys the company of women and would be the perfect new best friend for someone seeking a loyal companion. Once she warms up, this sensitive girl becomes a devoted "velcro" companion. Sassy Rose is both leash-trained and house-trained, making her a loving and reliable addition to her new home. She would benefit from an experienced dog owner who is patient and able to spend quality time with her. Dog/puppy adoption fees are $120. Cat/kitten adoption fees are $75. All pets will be spayed/neutered before adoption; or you will be given a discount spay/neuter certificate to be used at participating vet clinics to help with the cost of spay/neuter. Our adoption fees cover a microchip, microchip registration, deworming, vaccinations (as age and law requires), and a courtesy vet exam at participating offices. Unless otherwise indicated under "special needs" our dogs have screened heart worm negative. *****Please note that PAHS does NOT do online adoption applications.

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).
