Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Stitch Needs A Foster - And You Need More Fun - Bingo!!!
PACC is teaming up with two of our favorite rescuers to rehome Stitch. A medium sized, 54 lb, 1 year old, neutered, male, Border Collie / Blue Merle Aussie blend, his family didn't know what they didn't know, but learned the hard way what happens when you keep a working dog cooped up in an apartment. While Stitch got off to a delayed start on the socialization, structure and exposure to the big world fronts, his lineage is known for its smarts and he's no exception. Mr. Smarty Pants is an AP student. He sailed through crash courses in - people aren't scary, dogs are play buddies, beaches are fun, sand is trippy and waves are bliss. His GPA is already 3.8 (that doesn't include all of the extra curricular activities his rescue shero has provided him).
Stitch is now ready for advanced coursework in "home". We are looking for an experienced, dog savvy, active home, ideally with a mentor dog Stitch can play with and cue off. We have had a lot of interest in Stitch and believe he will be highly adoptable once he learns the ropes of living in a home that can meet his needs for exercise and stimulation and where he can be a central part of the family. (Cats are unknown and children should be beyond the herding age).
If any among you have the space (read yard, ideally near the beach or open space) and the heart to help get this guy to the next level, please complete the Foster Application linked below. Prepare to fall hard for this guy - everyone else has...

From Stitch's rescuer: Stitch is healthy, strong and smart. He absolutely loves pets and playing fetch with just about anything he can get his paws on. He loves head massages and belly rubs. Being a coastal dog his favorite place to be is by the water. He loves nothing more than chasing waves. He is a vocal boy who likes to weigh in on a lot of things but is learning that the humans like less bark, which is easier for him to comply with when his needs for exercise and being part of the family are met. He will overly focus on light/shadows when bored, something to work on. He is wary of the occasional stranger, much much better than just a few weeks ago. He is the absolute best walking/jogging/hiking partner and a great ride along buddy in the car (with only occasional barks). He excels in training so any training wonks out there who want to do agility, teach him to catch a frisbee or even surf would be welcome.
