Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Meet Van Gogh. Van Gogh is a young male border collie. He is still a pup
as we estimate his age to be about 9-10 months. He is a black and white
with a smooth coat and prick ears. Van Gogh is aptly named as he is missing
part of an ear which makes it flop over. It is unknown what happened to it,
but we suspect it was from a previous dog fight.
Van Gogh is very sweet, but can be quite timid and a bit nervous upon
meeting you, but will warm up to you quickly. Once he warms up to you, he
wants lots of attention. We are working on his recall, and he does not
appear to have been obedience trained, so formal training would be required.
Van Gogh walks fairly well on a leash. He is probably not housebroken, as
it appears that this youngster was neglected and not well socialized as a
pup. Van Gogh is learning to trust, and will be one fantastic little dog
for the person who enjoys the herding breeds. Van Gogh has appropriate
energy for his age, so he would need an active household.
We are still getting to know Van Gogh, so check back with us for updates.
His adopters must be committed to work with the destruction and energy
associated with raising a puppy, along with housebreaking accidents. As
with all puppies, socialization and puppy obedience classes are a must.
This will ensure that you have an outgoing, socialized, well behaved, and
well adjusted adult dog in your family.
If you are interested in meeting our dogs, please go on line and fill out
an adoption application. We require a pre-approved application to be on file
before any meet and greets are scheduled. The electronic application can be
found on our website at
