My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Meet Sparky. Sparky is a male 2 year old Border Collie Mix. We believe that he is mixed with McNab and Lab(sometimes called a Borador). Sparky can be a bit weary when he first meets you.  He is the type of dog that needs to size you up first and approach you on his own terms. Once he has had a chance to meet you, he is the most lovable and playful dog.  He just takes longer to warm up and can’t be rushed.   Since Sparky can be a bit weary at first, he should not be placed in a home with small kids or grandkids that visit often. Sparky is super playful and is fine with other dogs.  He has been fine with every dog we have put him with, often engaging them in play with a ball. Sparky does know his basic obedience and is crate trained.  He walks well on a leash, but is a bit scared in the car and he is a bit terrified of being in a crate.  Sparky has attended several of our adoption events and was a trooper, even though these events can have a lot of stimulus.
 
Sparky is a very affectionate love bug and will be a very loyal canine companion.  Sparky loves his tummy rubs and snuggles right up to you.  He wants nothing more than to forge a close bond with his person.  He just needs that special person who will work with him on his confidence and to help him continue to blossom.

If you are interested in meeting our dogs, please 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 athttp://www.bordercolliesinneed.org/border_collie_rescue_and_adoptions/adoption_application.html
