Here's what the humans have to say about me:
🐶 🐕 HAMISH Male Border collie mix 4 months, 26 lbs & AVAILABLE – check out more photos and see the rest of our dogs on our website -- https://norcalbcrescue.org/available-dogs/our-dogs/ 🐕 🐶
HAMISH is a sweet and spunky 26 pound four-month old puppy that will steal your heart. With a beautiful black and white medium coat, HAMISH is a package of adorable fun and energy. This boy will want to be with you, doing things together that you will both enjoy. He is fast learner & is treat & people-motivated. Watching him jump and leap across his foster home’s living room furniture (we’re working on this!) he might enjoy dog sports like agility, or canine scent work (aka nose work). HAMISH will be willing to do whatever you ask him to do & then snuggle with you afterward.
Born in late July, HAMISH is energetic & smart, so be prepared with games, training opportunities, or dog sports for this boy to give him what he needs to work his little brain & body. HAMISH lives with other dogs in his foster home, so he is well-socialized to dogs. He does not yet have a firm grasp of housebreaking, but is close to success. As smart as he is, that should come together once he has one-on-one, consistent direction from you.
HAMISH sleeps all night in his crate, and with a keen sense of hearing and that BC work ethic, is up with the sun, ready for breakfast and to start the day. When the sun goes down, he is ready to nestle into his bed and get some well-deserved shut eye. He likes to play with toys but especially loves to wrestle with his littermate Rory and puppy friend Malibu.
HAMISH is started on his puppy vaccines, wormed, and microchipped. He is also on flea & tick and heartworm prevention. As a condition of puppy adoption, he will need to be neutered when he reaches approximately 6 months (specific time to be determined by your vet). In addition to the adoption fee, puppy adoption requires a $75 spay/neuter deposit. Upon our receiving the spay/neuter certificate from you, the deposit is refunded. If you have an approved Northern California Border Collie Rescue Application (or apply here - https://norcalbcrescue.org/adoption/adoption-application/) and wish to enquire about LOKI, please email us at Adoptions@norcalbcrescue.org. If you have an approved adoption application with Border Collie Rescue of Northern California let us know and we will request it be forwarded to us for consideration.
HAMISH is being fostered Granite Bay, Placer County, CA.
