Why I need a new home

Behavioral issues

My story

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


Meet Bonesie. Bones is 7 years old (8 in September), he currently lives with 2 dogs, 2 cats, and 2 people. He loves treats, soft toys, tortilla chips, and belly rubs. He is trained to ring a bell when he has to go to the bathroom and he is crate trained for up to 8 hours at a time. Bones is needing a new home because he needs space to run and work off his energy. He is a Border Collie mix, so he is always wanting to corral his brothers. He is good with cats and dogs, but he is VERY protective of treats and toys. He is currently on anxiety medication from his vet. He is a fierce protector, but once he knows you are welcome in his home he will sit on your lap and give you kisses.

He has a 6 year old human cousin and other children that he gets along with fine. He just doesn't like it when kids try to steal his toys or food. He loves to look out the window and is a great bedtime snuggle. He does get warm easily, so he will probably be on the floor when you wake up.
