Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Rue is a 4 year old frisbee-loving, snuggly, Border Collie/Formosa Mountain Dog mix. She was adopted at 6 months of age from an organization that rescues dogs from Taiwan. True to her breed, she is very intelligent and loves adding new tricks to her repertoire, which already includes jumping through your arms, over your back on command, etc! One of her sweetest tricks is “come snuggle,” when she will happily lay down next to you and soak in every scratch, as seen in one of her pictures. As a rescue dog, she is wonderful with familiar adults but is not good with strangers and children. She is being re-homed because her current owners have a toddler and another baby on the way, and she snapped at the toddler when she had a hurt paw. She has never broken skin, but this was the second child she snapped at. She would be better suited for a home with adults or older children who want to get her lots of exercise. She is house and crate trained, and is the most loyal dog you will ever meet.
