Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Lucy is a 1.5-year-old border collie who is smart, high-energy, and inquisitive. She sticks right next to her human at all times, and loves to play with toys and is treat motivated. She weighs about 35 lbs. and is a semi-rough coat that doesn't really shed much.
Lucy's ideal home would be an adopter who can spend a lot of time with her and who has a lot of space for Lucy to play. She is wonderful with other dogs, kids, and seems okay with cats in the neighborhood but doesn't live with any right now. She wrestles and plays with a 70 lb. lab and a 45 lb. border collie. She reads pack behavior well, and knows when to back off if her foster siblings want to relax. Lucy is crate trained and house broken with no accidents in months.
She currently lives in a downtown neighborhood with sidewalks and a lot of activity. While Lucy does enjoy walking and settles nicely once she's over the first stimulation of getting leashed, a more rural setting would be ideal for her. She can be reactionary when there is too much stimulation. She barks at other people and dogs at first on her walks and much of this is because she desperately wants to meet and greet all animals and people. Her new family should dedicate time to working on her behavior outside the house.
Lucy is currently enrolled in positive reinforcement behavior training and is making good progress – learning to sit, wait, and stay. Her recall is great inside the house and yard, but is a work in progress outside the property. This will require some focused training in her new home. She must go to a home with a fenced yard and preferably one with other dogs because she enjoys playing with her pack.
