My story

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

Was adopted out as baby and returned as dault to rescue very stressed with no self control. He is a heeler/bordercollie/lab/cocker spaniel mix. Has been with me 9 months and learning control. High energy but wants to do what is asked of him. Lives with other dogs of many sizes because he was instructed to but does not interact. He has a high prey drive but when I fostered some newborn kittens he took over surprisingly as their guardian. He has learned to love the cats in my home. The kittens had no fear. Unsure how he would be with kittens in another home.
Prefers to be with his owner vs other dogs etc. He can be reactive and has been working with a trainer and myself. Easy to work with and loves it . Has taken on the job of protecting property from overhead intruders and guards the kittens.
Looking for someone who has time to spend with him. Hiking, walking. High energy breeds who need to be worked. He bonds very strongly to his person.
Fenced in yard. Leash when not secured. Crate trained.
