Description
Dog Breed: Border Collie (medium coat). INDY Is a calm and petite mature Border Collie lady who weighs in at just 29lbs. She prefers a calmer home life where she can be someone's constant companion. She is currently in a foster home where she lounges on the couch and sleeps on the bed with her foster parents (lucky girl). Just like her, she'd flourish in a home with mature persons who prefer a quieter lifestyle. She does enjoy her walks and a little bit of short tosses with her ball. She is potty trained and sleeps through the night. Since she comes from a lifestyle where she was with her person 24/7, a home where her people are either retired or work from home would be ideal. She is an absolute loving doll. Someone will be very lucky to have her in their family. If you're interested in meeting Indy, please visit humboldtgov/2658/Animal-Shelter and fill out an application to be pre-approved to make an appointment.

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).
