My personality

My story

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

Alphonse and his brother, Edward were found abandoned by their owner, and taken by local police to a rural North Carolina animal shelter. They recently joined our Connecticut Rescue. 

Alphonse has an outgoing personality and shows the energy and intelligence that characterize Border Collies. Despite the chaotic shelter process, he shows no obvious signs of trauma or neglect. 

DNA testing confirmed our guess that Smooth Coat Border Collie is Alphonse’s dominant breed, although 8 other breeds were detected in small measures. There is no mistaking that dramatic Collie profile. 

Alphonse has an electric chemistry, and he is athletic and high energy. He would be a great choice for a savvy Working Breed adopter, willing to continue training and socialization. 

Alphonse could easily join a multi-dog or cat home with older, playful animals tolerant of puppy energy. He would thrive with an active family with older kids who have been taught to be gentle with young dogs. 

Alphonse is available solo, or with his brother, Edward, to an adopter seeking a compatible pair. Both puppies are in excellent health, fully vaccinated and dewormed. If interested please write to Angelsfrgod@aol.com or call/text Denise at 860-908-9738 for more info.

Additional adoption info

When we receive your completed application we will check your references, including your veterinarian, and then call you to discuss your situation and requirements.. If you are approved for adoption, we can then discuss with you which of the dogs might fit best into your life. We will either arrange for you to visit the dog in its foster home, by appointment, or transport the dog to your home.

To help cover the veterinary expenses of our foster Eskies and to support our rescue effort, Eskies Online will charge you an adoption fee of $350.00. We do not sell dogs. We charge a flat fee--whether the Eskie is a puppy or an older dog; whether it came to us with minimal veterinary needs or requiring major medical care; whether the Eskie makes a short or a long stay in our foster system.
