Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Meet Joey, a neutered 4 year old male Border Collie. He is a perfect size at 30 pounds: he is big enough for an active lifestyle but small enough to fit comfortably in the car.
Joey is a great balance of energy and calm. He is always ready to go, whether it is for a car ride, hike, jog, or running alongside the bicycle. However, in the house, he makes up his own games with squeaky toys and generally entertains himself appropriately. Joey also enjoys the dog park where he likes to herd the smaller dogs, though not in an aggressive manner. He just wants to have them all in one large group.
This is the softest Border Collie we have ever felt. He is very cuddly and is thrilled to be invited to sit in a lap when the recliner is in use. Joey would also love to sleep in the bed with his people, though he isn’t allowed to do that here.
Joey is a smart guy, as per a typical Border Collie. He knows sit, down, stay, get out of the kitchen, get on your blanket, go, roll over, and will even jump in your arms by request once he gets to know you. He is ready to learn more and thrives on interaction.
Joey gets along with other dogs. He has lived with small dogs as well as a medium-sized male Australian Cattle Dog. As long as the other dog isn’t going to cause trouble, Joey seems content to also not cause trouble.
He is generally happy to meet new people. He does need a person who will ensure proper introductions each time as he can be nippy once in a while when meeting someone new. This may be caused by sudden movements. In his early life, he was abused and it may be that he remembers this from time to time. He is a happy-go-lucky boy now and just appreciates a proper greeting when meeting someone new.
Joey is crate trained, house trained, and knows how to use the dog door. He is current on his vaccinations and is ready for the right home. If you are interested in meeting Joey, please contact Lori at lmmercer@gmail.com or by phone at 650-269-4725
