Description
Dog Breed: Australian Shepherd / Border Collie / Mixed. All interested people should submit an adoption application as their first step. Meet Bongo Bongo is a special boy who has been patiently waiting for someone to give him the second chance he deserves. At approximately 3 years old and around 50 pounds, Bongo is a handsome, stocky guy who appears to be an Australian Shepherd/Border Collie mix. Bongo’s story is a bit of a mystery. He was found as an abandoned dog locally in Derry, NH, and spent two weeks in animal control waiting for someone to come looking for him—but no one ever did. His microchip was registered in Tennessee, leaving us wondering how this sweet boy made his way all the way to New England. What we do know is that Bongo is a smart, active dog with plenty of personality! He walks wonderfully on leash and knows some commands. Like many smart dogs, he will test his boundaries and can be mouthy with people who allow him to jump up or get away with behaviors he shouldn’t. He does best with confident, experienced adults who will provide him with structure, consistency, and clear boundaries. Bongo would prefer to be the only pet in the home and would do best with older children. He is looking for an adult home that understands his personality and will appreciate the loyal, intelligent, and unique dog he is. Bongo may not be the perfect match for every home—but for the right person, he could be an incredibly rewarding companion. ❤️ Could you be Bongo’s forever family? All pets adopted from GDHS are spayed or neutered, have vaccinations brought up to date, are on heartworm preventative (dogs), FIV/FELV tested (cats) and microchipped. The Greater Derry Humane Society does not have a physical shelter, and all visits are by appointment only.

Breed overview
Overview:
The Border-Aussie, a captivating hybrid of the Australian Shepherd and Border Collie, is a relatively new designer breed gaining popularity for its intelligence and athleticism. Originating from the desire to combine the best traits of its highly trainable parent breeds, the Border-Aussie typically exhibits a medium build with a striking, often bi- or tri-colored coat that can be rough or smooth. Temperamentally, they are incredibly intelligent, energetic, and possess a strong work drive, making them eager to learn and excel in various dog sports. While generally good-natured and loyal, their high energy levels and need for mental stimulation make them best suited for active families or individuals who can provide consistent training and plenty of exercise; they are generally not ideal for apartment living. Potential owners should also be aware of common health concerns inherited from their parent breeds, such as hip and elbow dysplasia, eye conditions (like Collie Eye Anomaly), and epilepsy.
